Delphi Academy of European Studies 2018 Free Seminar Program
The Delphi Academy of European Studies, supported by the Region of Central Greece focuses on the diachronic and synchronic study of European history and culture and the ways in which Europe today responds to the multifaceted challenges of political, economic, and cultural globalization.
The Academy offers two-week interdisciplinary, tuition free Seminars at the Centre’s facilities in Delphi. The Seminars, which are taught in English by world renowned scholars, are open mainly to graduate students/PhD candidates but also to qualified undergraduates. The Seminars are accompanied by a workshop and/or invited lectures on current political and cultural developments in Europe.
This year the Academy’s Seminars will focus on cultural politics in Europe in diverse historical contexts; special emphasis will be placed on the formative impact of cultural and historical pasts on political and cultural presents. The Seminars will be offered in June 11-22, 2018.
