Information Publications

During my academic career, I have studied music, Classics and theology. Accordingly, my research concentrates mainly on Middle Byzantine patristic material, especially liturgical texts (sermons and hymnography) and the context of their performance in worship. I am also interested in the theology of friendship and in the use of new research methodologies, such as performance theory, in patristic studies. I also produce translations of source texts, primarily from Greek to Finnish.
