Research Interests

Other research and writing projects include a study of Malek Bennabi (a renowned Algerian intellectual) and a survey of the Byzantine Empire. (He holds “reader” status, which allows access to the world-renowned library at the Byzantine Center at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C.—a favorite research destination.) Professor Naylor’s courses emphasize encounters and interactions (“transcultural” transmissions/transactions) within and between civilizations. He is particularly interested in historical epistemology, i.e., historicism, how do we know what we know about the past?
