Career
[edit]As Director at Dumbarton Oaks, Mullett was also the editor of Dumbarton Oaks Papers.[3] Previous to her position at Dumbarton Oaks, she was a Professor of Byzantine Studies and Director of the Institute of Byzantine Studies at the Queen's University of Belfast and Director of the Queen's Gender Initiative.[4][5] She is the author of Theophylact of Ochrid: Reading the Letters of a Byzantine Archbishop, Variorum, 1997.[4] With Judith Herrin and Catherine Otten-Froux, she edited a Festchrift for A. H. S. Megaw, published in 2001 by the British School in Athens.[6]
Mullett was created an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2006.[7][8]
Mullet's portrait is part of the 'The Feast of Wisdom', a Byzantine style mural in Queen's University's former Institute of Byzantine Studies created by Colin McGookin.[9] A portrait of Mullet was unveiled at Queen's University Belfast and will hang in the university's Great Hall, alongside other luminaries of the university.[10]
