Subject: Princeton/Columbia Conference: “The Greek War of Independence and the Americas” | November 12-13, 2021


Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce our Princeton/Columbia conference on “The Greek War of Independence and the Americas” to be held Friday-Saturday, November 12-13, 2021.   Considering the pandemic situation, the conference will be conducted entirely online, via zoom.

Our CFP yielded a very large number of excellent proposals that were reviewed by the Program Committee: Dimitri Gondicas (Princeton/Hellenic Studies) and Mark Mazower (Columbia/History), co-chairs; Jeremy Adelman (Princeton/History), Kostas Kostis (Athens/History), Natasha Wheatley (Princeton/History), Peter Wirzbicki (Princeton/History), Konstantina Zanou (Columbia/Italian), members.

We have invited 18 scholars (doctoral candidates to tenured faculty) who will present exciting new work on a broad and diverse range of topics, arranged in five thematic panels.  Speakers’ institutional affiliations: 6 Greece, 4 USA, 2 Italy, 2 UK, 1 Mexico, 1 Chile, 1 France, 1 Canada.

Participants will present short summaries (12-15 mins.) of their papers: main argument, sources, methodology, conclusions.  This will allow ample time for substantive discussions.

Following the presentations, panel chairs will offer brief comments and responses to the papers, followed by a few opening questions, to lead the discussion among panelists.

The online audience (advance registration required) will be able to participate with questions submitted via the “chat” function.

Panels have been scheduled at US EDT times to accommodate overseas participants and audiences.  Times may shift by one hour, pending EU decision on daylight savings time, fall 2021.

If health conditions permit, we also envision a hybrid, post-conference event in early 2022 via zoom plus in-person panels at the Princeton Athens Center.  The goal will be to interconnect our speakers and audiences, to identify threads that connect the conference papers, and to chart new directions for research.

I bring to your attention our conference schedule below.

The full program will be announced and circulated shortly, along with information for online registration.

Best wishes to all,

Dimitri Gondicas
