Teresa Shawcross is Associate Professor in History and Hellenic Studies at Princeton University and a Senior Member of Robinson College, Cambridge University. She is a historian of the medieval Mediterranean whose research interests are situated at the interstices of Western Europe, Byzantium and the Near East. Her publications have been especially concerned with contact, conflict and exchange between different ethno-religious and social groups – often within the context of large-scale migration and the experiences of migrants (e.g. colonisers, enslaved persons, refugees). Recent studies have explored interactions with the Central Asian and Atlantic worlds. Her work has been supported by fellowships from the Mellon Foundation, Dumbarton Oaks (Harvard University), Stavros Niarchos Center for Hellenic Studies (Simon Fraser University), Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (University of Cambridge), School of Oriental and African Studies (London University), and American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
