Theresa Urbainczyk is Associate Professor in the School of Classics, University College Dublin. She has published two books on church historians, Socrates of Constantinople (1997) and Theodoret of Cyrrhus (2002), both with the University of Michigan Press and two on slave revolts, Spartacus (Duckworths, 2004), and Slave Revolts in Antiquity (Acumen, University of California Press 2008). Currently she is in the preliminary stages of research on the twelfth-thirteenth century Byzantine historian, Niketas Choniates. She teaches on a wide range of subjects, all aspects of Greek and Roman history, Greek and Latin language and literature. Her favourite course was on ancient history on film but has only had the opportunity to teach that once.
In the meantime she enjoys writing articles on the subject for Film International ('Greece and Rome on Screen', 2007, vol 5.3, and 'Spartacus: a hero turns 50', 2010, vol. 8.3).
