Dr. Warren Woodfin is the Kallinikeion Assistant Professor of Byzantine Art and History and holds joint appointments in the Departments of History and Art History at Queens College. His research focuses on the art and archaeology of Byzantium and its cultural sphere in the eleventh through fifteenth centuries. For the past several years, he has been collaborating with a research team of U.S.- and Ukraine-based scholars to study a medieval burial complex in the Black Sea steppe. The site, called the Chingul Kurgan, yielded a trove of medieval textiles, precious metalwork, and other artifacts interred with a nomadic leader of the thirteenth century. His recent article on the project (co-authored with Renata Holod and Yuriy Rassamakin) appears in *Ars Orientalis* 38 (2010), pp. 153-184. He is the author of *The Embodied Icon: Vestments and Sacred Power in Byzantium* (Oxford University Press, 2011), a monograph about Byzantine textiles and their role in ritual and hierarchy. He has also published articles in the journals Gesta and Dumbarton Oaks Papers, and has contributed essays to various edited volumes, including the Metropolitan Museum’s catalogue *Byzantium: Faith and Power 1261-1557*, ed. Helen Evans (New York, 2004).
Prior to joining the faculty at Queens College, Woodfin held teaching and research posts at Duke, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, the Metropolitan Museum, and, most recently, a European Research Council-sponsored fellowship at the University of Zürich. | | |
