The 1st LSE PhD Symposium on Modern Greece was held on 2003 and hosted approximately 120 participants, about 80 of whom were current PhD students.
The vast majority were based in the UK, with small numbers attending from Greece, the rest of the EU and North America. Fifteen noted academics in the field of Modern Greek Studies also participated in this Symposium.
The day's programme was divided between plenary lectures - with keynote addresses on the new research challenges in different fields - and 10 specialty panels in which students presented their own papers.
Keynote speakers:
-
Dr Achilleas Mitsos, European Commission 'New Challenges for the Study of Greece and the European Union'
-
Professor Christina Koulouri, University of Thrace 'New Challenges for the Study of Modern Greek History'
-
Dr Jane Cowan, University of Sussex 'New Challenges for the Study of Multi-Culturalism: a social anthropological perspective'
-
Chair: Prof Michalis Tsinisizelis, University of Athens
The event was made possible by the generous financial support of the European Commission in order to cover the travel expenses of experts - academics and PhD Students - travelling from outside the UK.
