Ioan-Aurel Pop (born January 1, 1955) is a Romanian historian. Pop was appointed Professor of History at Babeș-Bolyai University in 1996. He has since been Chairman of the Department of Medieval History and the History of Premodern Art at Babeș-Bolyai University. Since 2012, Pop has been Rector at Babeș-Bolyai University. In 2018 he was elected President of the Romanian Academy.
His work is focused on researching the medieval history of Romanians and of Central and South-East Europe (Romanian medieval institutions, Romanian-Slavic political formations in Transylvania, the relations of Romanians from Transylvania with the extra-Carpathian Romanian space, the Byzantine influence on Romanians, the relations of Transylvania with Europe Central and Western, the ethnic and confessional structure of Transylvania).[1] He is a nationalist.[2] After the appearance of the book History and myth in the Romanian consciousness by Lucian Boia, Pop published a book in reply, partially rejecting the deconstructivist thesis of the Bucharest historian. He also developed alternative school textbooks for high school.[3][4]
Biography
Pop went to school in Brasov, and then, after completing the compulsory military internship, he studied Medieval History between 1975–1979 at "Babeș-Bolyai" University of Cluj-Napoca.
He gained his Ph.D in history in 1989, with a thesis on "The Cenesial Assemblies of Transylvania in the XIV - XVI centuries".[5][better source needed]
