Peter Miller has been awarded the Ballard & Seashore Dissertation Fellowship for the Spring 2022 semester.  This fellowship will provide him the opportunity to benefit from a final semester of protected and supported time to focus on completing his scholarly research activities and the writing of his dissertation. 

Peter is a sixth-year PhD candidate studying Late Antique religions of the Eastern Mediterranean and pursuing the Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities. He specializes in Christian monasticism within Syriac-speaking communities. By working across multiple languages including Syriac, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Coptic, Peter seeks to understand the exchange and development of religious ideas and practices across the ancient world through the art of translation and the development or religious education centers in the ancient world.

Congratulations Peter, we are so proud of you!
