Vicky Hioureas was awarded a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship to pursue her research project, “Don’t you see the murderers?: Representations of Violence and the Shaping of Political Consciousness in 12th-century Byzan-tium”, at the University of Haifa. In her project, she examines depictions of violence across genres (for exam-ple, law, chronicles, saints’ lives) in order to understand and analyze hierarchy, ethical values, and political con-sciousness in Byzantium in the twelfth century. Her PhD research on violence in Byzantium was conducted un-der the direction of Professor John Haldon at Princeton University.
