INVITATION to a WEBINAR: “Greek Authors 19th-21st centuries — The CENSUS website”: Tues. April 5, 2022, 12:00 (Boston time)

by Dia Philippides

Dear Colleagues and Friends, *INVITATION to a WEBINAR * *“Greek Authors 19th-21st centuries — The CENSUS website”* The ‘CENSUS of Modern Greek Literature’ project is organizing a first presentation online <http://www.laskaridisfoundation.org/en/webinar-greek-authors-19th-21st-cent…>. The project team and I hope that you will join us on *Tuesday April 5th, 2022, 12:00 (Boston time)* to hear more about the current state of the CENSUS and its future outlook. As you are aware, “The CENSUS of Modern Greek Literature: a bibliography for the English-speaking world” aims to facilitate access to Greek literature for speakers of English by providing references to (all) English-language translations of modern Greek literature and to (all) studies in English that relate to modern Greek literature from the twelfth century AD to the present. One of the main goals of the CENSUS is to be helpful to libraries (academic, institutional, personal...) -- towards the enhancement of their collections in Hellenic Studies. It's a partnership: we rely on good library collections as sources for the materials that we describe. The event features the presentation of the “*Greek Authors 19th-21st centuries*” section — the first to be made available on the CENSUS website under Open Access. This most recent phase of the project was completed, with the support of the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation, through the collaboration of two ad hoc teams of researchers / fellowship recipients — in Boston and under the aegis of the Marilena Laskaridis Chair of Modern Greek Studies, University of Amsterdam. The initial section to be presented includes references to 800 Greek literary authors (in approximately 7,000 entries). Please register *here* <https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_PvlWziyDTl2R8vRMLvGfOA>. More about the April 5th event in the attached announcement and more about the CENSUS at censusofmoderngreekliterature.org Best regards, Dia Philippides - CENSUS project team Dia Philippides Professor Emerita Dept. of Classical Studies Boston College *https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/classics/people/faculty-directory/philippides-dia.html <https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/classics/people/faculty-…>* http:// <http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/classics/Faculty/dia_philippides.html> censusofmoderngreekliterature.org

NEW Constantine and George Macricostas Fellowship at the Gennadius Library, April 15 deadline

by ASCSA Programs

CONSTANTINE AND GEORGE MACRICOSTAS FELLOWSHIP AT THE GENNADIUS LIBRARY Deadline: April 15, 2022 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 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. 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 and waiver of School fees, and housing in Athens, normally at Loring Hall. If housing is not available in Loring Hall, fellows will be provided with funds towards their housing costs. Meals, Monday through Friday, are provided at Loring Hall for all fellows. Fellows are expected to be engaged full-time in the supported research from early September 2022 to late May 2023, and are expected to participate in the academic life of the School. A final report is due at the end of the award period, and the ASCSA expects that copies of all publications that result from research conducted as a Fellow of the ASCSA be contributed to the Gennadius Library. Application: Submit an online application form for “Associate Membership with Fellowship.” An application consists of a curriculum vitae, description of the proposed project (up to 750 words), and three letters of reference to be submitted online.
