American Studies Seminar
The American College of Greece - Colleges and Special Programs - American Studies Seminar
The American Studies Seminar was first established in 1993 and thus is
already nearing its
fifteenth
anniversary. Organized annually and jointly
by The American College of Greece, the United States Embassy and Panteion
University, the seminar affords a comprehensive picture of the United
States through the examination of domestic trends and events that have
influenced American society.
The two-week seminar consists of lectures, films and panel discussions and takes
place every spring at the Downtown campus amphitheatre. It is designed
for college seniors, graduate students, teachers, diplomats, journalists,
businesspersons and other professionals. The seminar features distinguished
speakers from the academic, diplomatic and business communities, who make
presentations on a wide range of topics relevant to both Greece and the
United States. Attendance is free of charge, and Deree students receive
two credits upon successful completion of the seminar, making it the equivalent
of a College course.
Over the years, the seminar has focused on such issues as the emergence
of United States as a world power, the outbreak of the Cold War, the Vietnam
War, and problems arising from increased competition with Japan and the
European Union.
The American Studies Seminar has proven to be extremely successful by
any number of criteria. Attended by participants from many countries,
it has developed into a forum for lively discussion and the energetic
exchange of ideas. Academics and diplomats alike agree that this will
increase dialogue and understanding between Greece and the United States
and facilitate an informed discussion of important international issues
at all levels of Greek society.
