2007 was a notable year for Canadian Byzantinists since for on/v the second time a Canadian university (Toronto) hosted the annual Byzantine Studies Conference. Glen Peers chaired a largely Canadian Programme Committee and Linda Safran was an excellent local organizer. Linda, furthermore, is now the president of the Byzantine Studies Association of North America; and I am grate/it! to her/or describing this to those of us still not properly cognizant with our neii’ “umbrella “. She has also promised to make “Canadio— Bvzantina “ available ‘‘on line “, a/though antediluvian members of the Canadian Commi/lee (like mvse//i can relax since we shall continue to receive a real copy on genuine old-fashioned paper. Canadian Byzantinists have recently been able to welcome two new and exciting recruits. Full biographical details of Anne- Laurence Caudano and Dimitri Krallis, who have joined the University of Winnipegand Simon Fraser University respectively, maybefound under “Activitiesof Members‘ It is always pleasant to record members‘personal distinctions; and this year we are happily able to congratulate, in addition to Linda, three more of our peers. John Osborne has been elected an Honorary Fellow at the British School at Rome; Jim Payton was electedpresident of CAREE(Christians Associatedfor Relationships withEastern Europe) in November2006; and subsequentlyreceiveda personal invitationfrom the the 1-lonourableNicolas Gruevski,Prime Minister of Macedonia, to participate in the World Conference on Dialogue among Religions and Civilizations, held in Ohri4 Macedonia,on October 27, 2007, and wasalso invitedby the Dean of the Orthodox TheologicalFaculty of Skopje, Macedonia, and by the executiveassistant of the Metropolitan of the Macedonian Orthodox Church to return to Skopje and present another paper at the Orthodoxy Theological Faculty; and Glenn Peers was made a Member of the Institute of Advance Studies at Princeton for 2007- 2008 and was elected to the Advisory Board of the Mediterranean Centrefor Arts and Sciencesat Siracus, Italyfrom 2007.

GREATREX: “I finished my mandate as Chair of the department in Ottawa in July 2007; since then, however, my teaching load has increased, although this gave me the opportunity to teach a course on the Age of Justinian in the autumn of this year. For this I used the Cambridge Companion to the Age of Justinian as the set book, which seemed to go down well. Otherwise, research on the commentary on Pseudo-Zachariah of Mytilene continues. I delivered a short paper arising from this, concerning the downfall of patriarch Macedonius of Constantinople (in 511), at the International Conference of Patristic Studies in Oxford in August this year.” Publications: “Roman frontiers and foreign policy in the East”, in R.

D. KRALLIS: Dimitri has kindly sent the following Curriculum Vitae for inclusion in Canadio-Bvzantina: I was born in 1972 in Athens where I spend my childhood, teenage and college years. To my father, who wished to make an economist out of me, I owe my love of history and to my mother my desire to socialize and communicate with people. I embarked on the study of political theory in an effort to avoid the spectre of economics and at the University of Athens I was charmed by my professors of history and decided to risk all by applying for a graduate degree in Byzantine History. This took me to Oxford where I studied Byzantine social and political history. After an interruption of four years dedicated to my military service and teaching at the American College of Greece I left for the US and more specifically Ann Arbor to study with John Fine. Six years of study and great friendships led me to Simon Fraser University where I am lucky to work in a small but dynamic programme of Hellenic Studies comfortably ensconced in the History Department.

lewood) BYZANTINE STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA
Erica Cruikshank Dodds has kindly sent us the following information on Byzantine activities at her university. Eva Baboula gave a paper in Anthony Cutler’s session at the
Byzantine Studies Conference in Toronto, but I’m sorry, I don’t know the title of her paper. She is now teaching Byzantine Studies at U.Vic. and this term she has been teaching “Art and Warfare in the East Mediterranean up to the 15th Century”. She will be on maternity leave next term. Lesley Jessup is teaching Late Antique and Early Christian Art and Architecture” this term. The next issue of RACAR will have her article, “Art and the Gregorian Reform: Saints Peter and Clement in the Church of San Marco at Venice”. Her review of Glenn Peers’ book, Sacred Shock. Framing Visual Experience in Byzantium, came out this year in the 2006 edition of RAC4R. Gillian Mackie will be teaching “Byzantine Art and Architecture” next term. The next issue of RACAR will publish her article on the Mosaic of the Arc of the Covenant in the church of S. Germigny des Près (Gillian is away at the moment so I can’t get the precise title). Jeremy Johns lectured at U. Vic. this term on the Palatine Ceiling, Palermo.
EXCAVATIONS AT BATURYN IN 2007
During August of 2007, the Canada-Ukraine archaeological expedition renewed its annual excavations in Baturyn, Chernihiv province, Ukraine. The project is sponsored by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS), the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (PIMS) in Toronto, and the Shevchenko Scientific Society of America (SSS-A). Dr. Volodymyr Kovalenko, University of Chernihiv, directs the expedition. Dr. Volodyrnyr Mezentsev (U of T, CIUS) and Prof Martin Dimnik (PIMS) participate in this project and publish its research results. Prof Zenon Kohut, Director of CIUS, and Dr. Orest Popovych, President of SSS-A, act as advisers. This summer about 86 students and scholars from the universities and

Canadian Byzantinists are automatically members of the Canadian Committee of Byzantinists, and dues-paying members of the CCB will continue to receive the printed Canadio-Byzantina. Future issues of Canadio-Byzantina will also be available in pdffbrm on the BSANA website.
Canadian students and Byzantinists who wish to receive timely information by email about the BSC, other conferences, jobs, and the like will need to pay dues to BSANA. Only paid-up BSANA members may submit paper proposals for the BSC or proposals for BSANA sponsored sessions at Kalamazoo. The BSANA membership/dues form may be downloaded from www.bsana.net. The dues are very modest: $20 for regular members and $10 for students and scholars who have retired or are not currently employed. Unfortunately, dues can only be accepted in US$ because it costs more than the cheque is worth to cash a CDN$ cheque at a U.S. bank. I encourage any Canadian who finds it difficult to pay BSANA dues for this reason to
