W.D.E. COULSON & TONI M. CROSS
AEGEAN EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Deadline: March 15, 2023
W.D.E. Coulson and Toni M. Cross Aegean Exchange Program is offered for Greek Ph.D. students and scholars in any field of the humanities and social sciences, from prehistoric to modern times, to conduct research in Turkey, under the auspices of the American Research Institute in Turkey (ARIT) <https://aritweb.org/> in Ankara and/or Istanbul during the academic year. The purpose of these fellowships is to provide an opportunity for Greek scholars to meet with Turkish colleagues and to pursue research in museums, archives, and library collections and at the sites and monuments of Turkey. Fellowships are funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs through the Council of American Overseas Research Centers, which also provides funding for Turkish graduate students and senior scholars to study in Greece, under the auspices of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
The ARIT library in Istanbul focuses on Ottoman and Byzantine Studies and the American Board of Missions. In Ankara the library collections focus on Mediterranean and Near Eastern Archaeology. ARIT helps visiting researchers access the many Turkish (and other) libraries, archives, museums, sites accessible to visiting researchers. ARIT also supports research in fields outside of Turkish studies when significant materials are held in institutions within the country (e.g. Ottoman Egypt, Islamic studies, World War I history, varied archaeology).
Eligibility: Greek nationals, including staff of the Ministry of Culture and Sport, doctoral candidates, and faculty members of Greek institutions of higher education.
Duration: From two weeks to two months.
Terms: Stipend of $250 per week plus up to $500 for travel expenses. Four to eight awards are available. ARIT, located in Istanbul and Ankara, will provide logistical support and other assistance as required, but projects are not limited to those two cities. For further information about ARIT: https://aritweb.org/ <https://aritweb.org/>. A final report to ASCSA and ARIT is due at the end of the award period, and ASCSA and ARIT expect that copies of all publications that result from research conducted as a Fellow of ASCSA/ARIT be contributed to the relevant library of ASCSA/ARIT.
Application: Submit “Associate Membership with Fellowship” application online. The application includes a curriculum vitae, statement of the project to be pursued during the period of grant (up to three pages, single-spaced in length), and two letters of reference from scholars in the field commenting on the value and feasibility of the project.

CONSTANTINE AND GEORGE MACRICOSTAS FELLOWSHIP
AT THE GENNADIUS LIBRARY
Deadline: January 15, 2023
The Constantine and George Macricostas Fellowship at the Gennadius Library supports research on Orthodox Christian Studies with an emphasis on Orthodoxy’s history, religious traditions, and geographical, geopolitical, and cultural reach. Of particular interest is the significant role that the institution of the church played in the broader history of Hellenism. Opened in 1926 with the 26,000-volume collection of diplomat and bibliophile Joannes Gennadius, the Gennadius Library now houses 145,000 titles of rare books and bindings, research materials, manuscripts, archives, and works of art that illuminate Hellenism, Greece, and neighboring civilizations from antiquity to modern times. The collection includes rare and unique items on the intellectual, social, cultural, political and institutional history of the Orthodox Church through the centuries. Holdings of 90,000 research titles in open stacks complement the rare books and other collections to create a comprehensive resource for the history of Greece across the ages.
Eligibility: Ph.D. students and those who have earned the Ph.D. within the last 5 years with research projects focusing on the historical, political, and sociological dimensions of Eastern Orthodox religion from Late Antiquity to the present are eligible. The fields of study may include, but are not limited to religious studies, anthropology, history, philosophy, politics, law, and sociology. Open to all nationalities.
Terms: A stipend of $11,500 plus room and board in Loring Hall, and waiver of School fees. Meals, Monday through Friday, are provided at Loring Hall for the fellow. Fellows are expected to be engaged full-time in the supported research from early September 2023 to late May 2024, and are expected to participate in the academic life of the School.

Dear Friends of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection,
You are cordially invited to attend a live Zoom talk on Dec. 14 by our current Hellenic Research Fellow, Dr. Konstantina (Nadia) Georgiou. See the relevant event details below.
TITLE: “Network Gatekeeping and the Role of Diasporic Greek Americans in the Promotion and Dissemination of Post-WWII Translated Modern Greek literature.”
ABSTRACT: The collaborative and networked aspect of producing translated literature is currently a hot topic in translation and literary criticism, with studies identifying key gatekeeping agents in the inception, production, circulation and promotion of translated literature. Uncovering the role and input of these gatekeeping agents is part of the mission of the sociology of literature in translation. The significance of such revelations may be profound for our understanding of the creation of a literary work of art, as it problematises concepts of authorship and originality. My ongoing research project involves exploring the archival material hosted by the Sacramento University Library special collections, and in particular the personal and professional correspondence of Prof. John P. Anton and Basil Vlavianos with leading scholars, writers, and cultural figures. The paper will discuss some of my findings in John P. Anton’s papers, focusing on his correspondence with eminent translators, such as Kimon Friar and Edmund (Mike) Keeley. The paper will take a closer look at the literary network these three scholars belonged to, identify some of its more influential members and discuss their roles and impact in the promotion and dissemination of post-WWII translated Modern Greek literature.
DATE AND TIME: Wednesday, December 14, 2022, 1 p.m. Pacific Time (US and Canada). The talk will be recorded and archived for later viewing.
