The Oxford Byzantine Society’s 2012 International Graduate Conference Reality and Illusion: Seeing through the ‘Byzantine Mirage’ took place on 17-18 February 2012. This year, we had 51 invited presenters from all over the UK, Europe, and North America who gave papers on topics from Diocletian to Constantine XI. The booklet, containing all of the the abstracts, is free for download.
The Organizing Committee would like to thank the Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research, the Oxford Centre for Late Antiquity, the Oxford Centre for Medieval History, the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies, and the Oxford Sub-Faculty for Medieval and Modern Greek for their generous support, without which none of this would have been possible. Thanks also for the support and patronage of Oxford University Press, Liverpool University Press, and Brepols Publishers. Special thanks to the presenters, volunteers, chairs, and attendees, who made the whole thing work.
