Thesis Title: "Nomads and Religions: The Conversion of Eastern European Nomads During the Middle Ages (921 - 1236 A.D.)"
About
I am a Ph.D. student at Cambridge, where I completed an M.Phil. dissertation entitled 'Two Examples of Nomadic Conversion in Eastern Europe: the Christianization of the Pechenegs, and the Islamization of the Volga Bulghars (tenth to thirteenth century A.D.)'. For my doctorate, my research focuses on the conversion of some nomadic tribes to Christianity and Islam, with special emphasis on how freshly Christianized societies developed their relations with the 'pagans' and how they tried to convert them to their faith. My wider research interests include the history of several nomadic groups from the seventh to early thirteenth centuries, and I am particularly drawn to tensions surrounding Khazar and Volga Bulghar history.
