This is a space dedicated to exploring physical and mental difference in the Byzantine world. Our mission is to bring together scholars, students, and all those interested in the lived experiences, representations, and social dimensions of disability in Byzantium. The Hub serves as the central platform for our activities and resources, a gateway to lectures, group discussions, and conference updates, as well as a curated repository of scholarship on disability in the medieval eastern Mediterranean.

We hope that this site will be a meeting place: a way to connect, collaborate, and contribute to an emerging field of study. By fostering dialogue and showcasing ongoing work, the Byzantine Disability Hub seeks to strengthen international networks, inspire new research, and support future projects that expand our understanding of Byzantium and its diverse communities.

We invite you to explore, learn, and join the conversation, as we continue to build a vibrant, inclusive community at the intersection of Byzantine studies and disability history.
