The Program in Hellenic Studies at Princeton University announces our second International Graduate Student Conference in Modern Greek Studies.

Submissions are invited from doctoral candidates in the final stages of their dissertation research who wish to present their work on any aspect or period of modern Greek history, society, and culture. Comparative or interdisciplinary approaches are welcome. Papers should be in English, and must not exceed 30 minutes.

Please submit abstracts of approximately 350 words no later than January 29, 2010. All Greek words should be transliterated. Each abstract should be accompanied by a cover letter, including (i) a curriculum vitae; (ii) a brief statement how the proposed paper connects with the dissertation-in-progress; (iii) the applicant's contact details (name, current affiliation, postal and e-mail addresses; tel. nos.); (iv) the names and e-mail addresses of two academic referees, the dissertation supervisor and one other person familiar with the candidate's current research.

Receipt of all submissions will be acknowledged, and the applicants will be notified by February 22, 2010, whether their submissions have been accepted. Participants will be expected to submit the full text of their papers by April 16, 2010. Papers will be precirculated among conference speakers, chairs, and respondents.

The Program in Hellenic Studies will cover the participants’ travel expenses to Princeton, and will offer shared (double-occupancy) accommodation (up to four nights), as well as meals on the days of the conference.
