Albanian Revolt
First-year History MA student Dane Beatie recently had an article accepted for review by Diogenes, a graduate student publication in Byzantine, Ottoman, and Modern Greek studies at the University of Birmingham in Britain. His article, "Empire's Epilogue: A Re-Examination of the Revolts of 1453-1454 in the Morea," examines the historiography surrounding these rebellions, otherwise referred to as the "Albanian Revolt," seeks to understand the roles of the Albanian and Byzantine elite in the revolt and how it came to be known as an Albanian rebellion. Dane is grateful for the support and warmth of the Sonoma State History Department, and hopes to continue his line of research for his thesis.
