Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research
Dr Neil McLynn
I joined the Faculty on 1 April 2007 as University Lecturer in Later Roman History. I studied classics and did my doctorate at Oxford, before moving to Japan in 1990. Until 2007 I taught in the Faculty of Law at Keio University, where I gave courses on a variety of subjects ranging from Shakespeare to International Relations. The experience has left me with a weakness for Japanese history in particular and for other people's subjects in general. To maintain my Japanese ties I run an annual summer school for Keio students in Oxford. During term I am much involved in the Oxford Centre for Late Antiquity, which organizes and hosts a busy round of research seminars.
