Diliana Angelova serves as Associate Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, with scholarly specialization in Byzantine and Roman historical studies emphasizing gender dynamics, religious frameworks, and artistic expression. Education: BA, American University in Bulgaria, 1995 MA, Southern Methodist University, 1998 MA, Harvard University, 2002 PhD, Harvard University, 2005 Her research program critically investigates female agency within imperial systems through interdisciplinary analysis of textual sources, architectural patronage, and material artifacts. Core methodologies integrate gender theory with art historical analysis to reconstruct women's roles in religious and political spheres across late antiquity and early Byzantium, particularly examining how empresses leveraged sacred discourse for authority. Publication trends reveal sustained engagement with imperial ideology through physical manifestations—buildings, ivories, and urban landscapes—demonstrating how female rulers like Pulcheria and Ariadne engineered religious and architectural programs to project power. Thematic continuity connects her monograph on founding narratives with earlier articles exploring material culture as political language. Scientific Awards: Van Courtlandt Elliott Prize, Medieval Academy of America (2006) for outstanding first article in medieval studies Information regarding graduate student supervision and external research funding remains unspecified in available documentation, though her scholarly output indicates active contribution to Byzantine gender studies through major publications and academic reviews.
