Eva Kuras

Eva Kuras is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Comparative & World Literature. She studies cross-cultural literary transmission in the Middle Ages across the Eurasian landmass and the Mediterranean Sea. Her research examines the medieval Mediterranean routes and networks that encouraged such transmission to occur and the kinds of stories more likely to have taken these paths. She focuses especially on European vernacular and Persian literatures and cultural artifacts. She uses the methodologies of Postcolonial Medieval Studies, Mediterranean Studies, and Global Studies. She was the 2022–23 Mellon Pre-Doctoral Public Humanities Fellow.
