Abstracts for individual papers and proposals for entire panels are invited on any aspect of contemporary Greek culture, literature, language, history, society, politics, economics, and the arts. Comparative and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of Greece and research on the regional, transnational, and transcultural
dimensions of Greek modernity are especially encouraged.
General Guidelines for Submission:
All submissions will be judged by blind review on the basis of their individual merit, even when part of a submitted panel. Abstracts of 300-400 words should be submitted electronically to the MGSA Executive Director.
Jointly authored abstracts and papers are welcome.
Each abstract should be accompanied by a separate page that contains the name(s) of the author(s), affiliation( s), postal and email addresses, and telephone numbers. All papers will have a 20-minute time limit.
Symposium participants are expected to cover their own expenses. There is a small fund available to defray accommodation costs only (not travel) for participating graduate students.
