Roland Betancourt

关于作者

Roland Betancourt is a prominent scholar in the fields of Byzantine studies, gender, and sexuality. His work delves into the complexities of identity and representation in the Byzantine Empire, exploring how concepts of gender and sexuality intersected with race and cultural identity during the Middle Ages. Through his research, Betancourt highlights the often-overlooked narratives that contribute to a more nuanced understanding of Byzantine history and its diverse populations.

Among his notable contributions is the book "White: The History of a Color," which examines the socio-political implications of color symbolism in art and culture. Additionally, he has edited volumes such as "The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Sexuality in Byzantium" and authored "Byzantine Intersectionality: Sexuality, Gender, and Race in the Middle Ages," further enriching the discourse surrounding these themes. Betancourt’s scholarship not only broadens the scope of Byzantine studies but also encourages interdisciplinary dialogue across various fields of humanities.
