Assistant Professor
Christopher MacEvitt specializes in the history of medieval Christian
communities, particularly around the Mediterranean. After studying Classics and
Medieval Studies at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut (B.A. 1995), he
did his graduate work at Princeton University in the department of History (PhD
2002). His courses explore both the ancient and medieval history of Christian
communities, with particular interests in gender and identity. He has
recently finished his first book, which examines the idea and practice of
tolerance in the twelfth-century crusader principalities in Syria and
Palestine, and is currently studying competing images of Jerusalem in the
fourteenth-century Mediterranean.
