Plenary address given at 2022 Orthodox Christian Association of Medicine Psychology and Religion (OCAMPR) Conference.
Nina Glibetic is an Assistant Professor of Liturgical Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Her main research area is Christian liturgy in the premodern world, especially in the Orthodox tradition. Her work is interdisciplinary and pulls from the fields of liturgiology, theology, Byzantine and Slavic Studies. Glibetic's research and publications have explored topics such as the development of Byzantine eucharistic liturgy in the late Middle Ages, the role of liturgy in the formation of national identity, medieval religious rites for women at childbirth and miscarriage, and the liturgical heritage of early Slavs between East and West. Glibetic has lectured internationally and held numerous research appointments, including a membership at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and fellowships at Harvard's Dumbarton Oaks, the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is concurrently a member of an interdisciplinary research team dedicated to studying the liturgical manuscripts discovered at St Catherine's Monastery on Mt Sinai in 1975. In 2021, pope Francis appointed prof. Glibetic as a consultant to the Congregation for Eastern Churches, making her one of a small number of Orthodox persons to serve in this capacity.
