معرفی
Dr. Karl Dahm is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University. His research focuses on the intersection of Roman family structures and late antique Christian conflicts, particularly in Constantinople and the Syriac-speaking Near East. He previously held a temporary lectureship in Roman History at the University of Bristol and postdoctoral fellowships at King's College London, including the Germanicus Fellowship from the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies. His PhD from King's College London (2022) examined how late antique church historians like Socrates of Constantinople and Sozomen of Gaza constructed models of ecclesiastical authority through historiography.
His research interests span late antique history, including Roman urbanism, sea trade archaeology, religious violence in North Africa, and intertextual strategies in early Christian historiography. He has published widely on these topics in venues like Journal of Late Antiquity, Journal of Early Christian Studies, and Antiquité Tardive.
