About the event
Name of the speaker: Kate Wilcox
Information for the speaker: Kate M. Wilcox is an Edinburgh-based museum professional who creates supportive museum experiences that encourage inquiry, reflection, and critical thinking.
Commissioned by the Scotland + Venice consortium to produce a multimedia installation for the 59th International Art Exhibition, artist-curator Alberta Whittle employs her signature wayward curatorial approach in the creation of deep dive (pause): uncoiling memory, which is envisioned as a ‘space built on black love, care, queerness, community and healing.’ This presentation begins by providing context as to why wayward curation is necessary to combat the exclusionary mandates of hegemonic institutions and acknowledges the political interests of the installation’s commissioner. This is followed by an analysis of how modes of resistance are conceptualized within the critical theories Whittle has identified as influential to her practice. Wayward curation is further deconstructed with a final assessment of how the content, design, and production of the installation resists racist, patriarchal, and heteronormative paradigms embedded within the art world. Central to this is Whittle’s network of accomplices – composed of institutions, curators, performers, technicians, and invigilators – who forge a mutually supportive mode of operating through an additive production process. Also worth examination is the continuing evolution of this exhibition as it changes galleries, institutions, and audiences.

Bio
Christine Tokatlian
Concert Pianist
Assistant Professor of Music & Music Performance, FRSFPA @Deree-ACG
Christine Tokatlian, is a concert pianist praised for her academic distinctions and passionate performance. In 2008 she was awarded the honorary ‘Eleni Myconiou’ prize for artistic excellence by the Athens Academy. At the age of six Christine was already taking piano lessons at the National Conservatory of Greece which led to a Soloist’s diploma with a grade of Excellence by unanimous vote and First Prize, under the supervision of Manolis Kokalis. Studying under renowned pianists including Dimitris Toufexis, Yu Chun Yee and Bernard Roberts, between 1996 and 1999, Christine receives her Bachelor of Arts in Music from Deree-The American College of Greece, and post-graduate diplomas in Advanced Piano Performance from the Royal College of Music in London (PGDip, PGAdvDip).
Performing around Greece, the United Kingdom, Italy, Lebanon, Germany and Armenia alongside distinguished artists including the Komitas Quartet, Christine’s recitals include works by classical, romantic and contemporary composers, as well as new-experimental music all performed with her distinct temperament, undeniably fueled by her Armenian descent. And with the same passionate spirit she premiered Khatchaturian’s Piano Concerto with the Thessaloniki State Orchestra in the Thessaloniki Concert Hall in 2010.
Christine also communicates her talent through teaching as she is currently a professor of music at Deree – The American College of Greece and a piano professor at the Meandrio Conservatory.
She has recorded with various ensembles and artists and in a range of musical styles particularly interested in new music.
Her PhD research at Chichester University, UK, focuses on contemporary Armenian piano music and its impact on the re(de)construction of Armenian musical identity. Her research has been presented in international conferences in Athens, London, Istanbul, Berlin and Latvia.
Christine serves as a jury member in national competitions and gives piano masterclasses in Greece and abroad. Her students have been awarded several prizes and distinctions in international piano competitions.
Armenian Piano Images, Christine’s first personal recording with works of contemporary Armenian composers, some of which are world premieres, serves as a window for her audience to see into her dream of magical musical performance.

Pyrros Marmatakis: Four themes from the play Inside Hamlet’s mind, Original composition
14.30-15.00
Christos Yonas-Kontos: Eleven Future Recursions, Original composition, Piano Recital
A musical meditation on how the Past and Future are recursively conceived in the Present. Eleven parts conveying feelings; gestures and states of mind ineffable by other means all co-existing separately and in unity, transforming into one another in time like symbols in the halls of memory.
15.15-15.45
Vasileios Gavvaris: Struggle and Glory, Piano Recital
A musical journey featuring compositions distant in time, connected by shared values. A common heroic journey from darkness to light, from struggle to glory, in search of a heroic figure.
15.45-16.30
Break
16.30-17.00
Evelina Antemisari: Piano Recital
A journey into the lucid dream, back to reality and an encounter with the beloved J. Brahms and the fascinating but at the same time deeply expressive Prokofiev.
17.00-17.30
Nick Venner: Piano Recital
A musical sentimental journey from the enchanting and expressive baroque of Rameau to the magical and romantic universe of Chopin, with phantasy and dreaming as our guides.
17.40-18.10
Stathis Chomatsas: Piano Recital
A recital inspired by nature, Gothic art and the concepts of time and perception. Works from Italian and French Baroque will be heard, leading to intense and lyrical Russian romanticism, and ending in the special ‘dark’ color of the 21st century.
18.10-18.40
Stathis Chomatsas & Vrez Khachaturian: 2 Mancunians in Athens, Piano Duo
A music journey in 19th century Paris, where the Macabre and the mystery of death fascinate the very human mind like a quest in the Universe, as the Planets project their own majesty! In a journey, where a coffee in Paris does not prevent a dance in Buenos Aires. Because, Music knows no distance!
19.00-20.00
Elena Christodoulou: From Paris to Buenos Aires…1901-1952, Piano Recital
A recital dedicated to piano works by four composers of classical music of the 20th century with significant influence that aims to present some of the most important musical trends of the era. A distinctive musical journey with starting point the impressionistic aura of Paris, the passion and exoticism of Andalusia, the influenced by jazz elements musical scene of early 20th century New York and final destination the explosive and polyrhythmic melodies of Argentina.
20.15-21.15
Christine Tokatlian & Spyros Souladakis: Classical + 200, Piano Duo
Is there a secret mystery hidden in the number 200? In 1781 Mozart submits his score for the Sonata…and in 1981 a polystylistic suite ridicules the stupidity of Nikolai Gogol’s characters in a circumstance of tragic parody. Distinct quotations of popular motives of the musical canon of 200 + years…from the Baroque to post-Romanticism they find their way and paradoxically merge in the avant-garde.
21.30-22.20
Dimitri Toufexis, Romantics and more, Piano Recital
Dimitri Toufexis returns at Deree. As the Mentor of all of us, he travels us beyond Romanticism. We will enjoy him in a concert that will bring the pianistic marathon to its end.

About the exhibition
The Space Between is an exhibition featuring the works of graduating Visual Arts students from Τhe American College of Greece Elena Gazi and Eden Scroggins. It is co-curated by students from the Art History program, Athina Lasithiotaki and Katerina Milesi. The exhibition also features objects and household items from the artist Frances Rich, courtesy of the Frances L. Rich Estate.
The exhibition places the viewer in the liminal space between the two artists’ immersive installation spaces. Informed both by science fiction and the culture and practice of textiles, Scroggins’ Pocket Dimension, presents an alternative dimension with brightly colored, handcrafted, alien forms made of woven fabric and wire that invade and disrupt the planes of her installation. The work emphasizes the hidden cracks between materials, practical methodologies, and uncanny emotional experience. Gazi’s Ark of the Forgotten is a sanctuary of abandoned objects, toys, fabrics, and bones that have been recovered, collected, and sculpted into an altar. In contrast with museum tactics, the Ark of the Forgotten lets these objects garden their own narratives and personal mythologies.
Together, childhood memories invade cosmic worlds, while [household] furniture, the relics from a previous artist’s life, is scattered in the space between. The viewer is called into a liminal space, to participate in a tribute to nostalgic recollections and speculative futures. The exhibition explores the distance between here and there, acknowledging the presence of the void.
Open to all, with free admission

About the event
Gonda Van Steen’s research on children’s adoptions from Greece to the USA in the 1950s and 1960s leads her to look at texts from ancient and modern Greek literature with fresh eyes. In this lecture, she will cover topics from 5th century BCE Greek tragedy, and specifically Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus (ca. 430 BCE). She will also explore how the modern field of adoption studies and its terminology may help us to reconceptualize the famous story written by Georgios Vizyinos, Τὸ ἁμάρτημα τῆς μητρός μου, My Mother’s Sin.
About the speaker
Gonda Van Steen earned a BA and MA degree in Classics in her native Belgium and a PhD degree in Classics and Hellenic Studies from Princeton University. Her research interests include Greek language and literature through Byzantine and Modern Greek, Western travelers to Greece and the Ottoman Empire, 19th and 20th century receptions of the classics and especially of ancient theater, and modern Greek intellectual and social history. Van Steen holds the position of Koraes Chair of Modern Greek and Byzantine History, Language and Literature in the Centre for Hellenic Studies and the Department of Classics at King’s College London. She is the first woman to hold the Koraes Chair.
Van Steen is the author of the following books: Venom in Verse: Aristophanes in Modern Greece, published by Princeton University Press in 2000 and was awarded the John D. Criticos Prize from the London Hellenic Society; Liberating Hellenism from the Ottoman Empire, (2010); Theatre of the Condemned: Classical Tragedy on Greek Prison Islands (OUP, 2011); Stage of Emergency: Theater and Public Performance under the Greek Military Dictatorship of 1967-1974 (OUP, 2015) and Adoption, Memory and Cold War Greece: Kid pro quo? (University of Michigan Press, 2019). The latter appeared also in Greek translation as Ζητούνται παιδιά από την Ελλάδα: Υιοθεσίες στην Αμερική του Ψυχρού Πολέμου (Athens: Potamos, 2021). This book won the 2019 Book Prize of the European Society of Modern Greek Studies. Van Steen is also preparing the annotated edition of a postwar and Civil War memoir written by an American social worker active in relief services in northern Greece: The Battle for Bodies, Hearts, and Minds in Postwar Greece: Social Worker Charles Schermerhorn in Thessaloniki, 1946-1951 (Routledge, 2023). Van Steen has further published articles on ancient Greek and late antique literature, on postwar Greek feminism, and on Cavafy. Her latest research project is a long-term study of the organized mass adoptions of Greek children to the USA (and to the Netherlands) in the first fifteen years following the end of the Greek Civil War (1950-mid 1960s).

About the event
ACG welcomes two-time Booker prize-winning author of over 50 books, including The Handmaid’s Tale and its record-breaking sequel, The Testaments, Margaret Atwood, to our inaugural S. Sue Horner Lectureship in Gender Studies & Religion. Atwood, who has been described as the most important living author of our time, is best known for her haunting visions of future dystopias. In her novels, Atwood explores issues related to gender and identity, religion and myth, the power of language and even power politics.
The words twittering world originate from a T.S. Eliot poem, Burnt Norton, part of his Four Quartets work. Atwood will discuss how literature has meaning in this world, with distractions that keep us numb to the deeper meaning of life.
About the Author
Margaret Atwood is the author of more than fifty books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays. Her novels include Cat’s Eye, The Robber Bride, Alias Grace, The Blind Assassin, and the MaddAddam trilogy. Her 1985 classic, The Handmaid’s Tale, was followed in 2019 by a sequel, The Testaments, which was a global number-one bestseller and won the Booker Prize. In 2020, she published Dearly, her first collection of poetry in a decade, followed in 2022 by Burning Questions, a selection of essays from 2004 – 2021. Her next collection of short stories, Old Babes in the Wood, was published in March 2023.
Atwood has won numerous awards, including the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society, the Franz Kafka Prize, the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, the PEN USA Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. In 2019, she was made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour for services to literature.

By Ioannis Stylianidis
PhD candidate, Heidelberg Center for Jewish Studies
2022 Research Fellow at The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism & Policy
When: Wednesday, April 5, 2023 | 14:30-15:20 (student activity hour)
Where: 6th level auditorium, Deree-ACG (in-person attendance)
Online attendance (via Zoom) here
Organized by
Department of History, Philosophy and the Ancient World, Deree – The American College of Greece
in collaboration with
ISGAP – Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy
The event is free and open to the public.
About the lecture
This lecture seeks to present how the Jewish cultural heritage is vandalized in Greece during the timeframe of populism (2015-2018). During this period places of Jewish cultural heritage in Greece are vandalized. The spectacle of vandalism in the sphere of media is considered paramount of importance for the political aesthetic, as acts of vandalism against the Jewish cultural heritage can be considered as a crystal-clear antisemitism. The timeframe of populism thrives urbanization in the public sphere. As a result, people are more susceptible to mass mobilization, protest and acts of violence in urban spaces. However, it is not only the urban (offline) environment which is affected but also the sphere of media, as an online space. According to the definition of media violence, the effects of urban violence and its coverage extend beyond the individual viewer, especially when polarization and division, as a result of populism, are dominant factors in society. As a result, the effects of this reality are reflected in the audience, and likely to make people more aggressive, as media often acts as a window on to that reality.
Based on the above, this lecture seeks to discuss examples of online and offline antisemitic acts during the period of 2015-2018, and how the ”timeframe” of populism affects antisemitism.
About the speaker
Ioannis Stylianidis is pursuing a PhD at the Heidelberg Center for Jewish Studies and the University of Heidelberg. His doctoral theme deals with the representation of Jews in the Greek press by focusing on the study of anti-Semitism from a global and transcultural perspective. Ioannis holds two Master’s degrees in the fields of Theology and Culture (Thessaloniki) and Jewish Civilization (Heidelberg). He has also studied Middle East Anthropology and Central Asia Studies at the University of Copenhagen, and Modern Hebrew at the University of Haifa. Learn more about the speaker here

The seminar is free and will be held primarily in Greek. Parking on campus upon availability.
About the event
Combining Nostos’ 25-year field experience with academic research, the aim of the three-day (3) seminar is to explore aspects of immigrants’ integration in the specific urban environment and to address the various challenges involved in the process of their inclusion over time.
The seminar consists of three afternoon sessions on the social integration of third country nationals in the Athenian urban environment from the 1990s to the present.
Three films of contemporary Greek cinema, which depict different phases of immigrant experience in Athens, are used as a common point of reference for critical discussions on the “diachronic” relationship between migration and the city. The film screenings will be followed by presentations of researchers, migration experts and practitioners.
The seminar is addressed to social scientists, students of social sciences and humanities, teachers, social workers, professionals of migrant integration structures and services.
A certificate of attendance will be issued to those who attend all 3 sessions.

“Parousa” is a phrase used in the Greek language. It is used by a person, who identifies as a female, when she needs to declare her presence somewhere. This place can range from a classroom, a room, or even a gallery space. Parousa in this case, delves into the very presence of a woman in this exhibition space as a statement of existence.
Parousa explores and illuminates the presence of females in art and whether they are effectively conveyed as empowered agents or displayed in their prevailing lack of agency. Ultimately, we aim to explore the impact women have had on society and the arts and vice versa.

About the event
A masterclass by Cannes film festival acting nominee and international actor/performer Gregory Patrick Karr (Gregory Patrikareas). The masterclass will address Greece’s position in the international reality of world cinema and will examine strategies that can be implemented for the young filmmaker, actor and student who wants to be involved in any aspect of independent filmmaking, whether it is in the creative, the production or the technical aspects of independent cinema. Gregory Patrick Karr will talk about working with renowned Greek directors like Angelopoulos and Koundouros, both in actual filming and post-production as an actor and dubbing director — and his current acting experience as an English-speaking actor in international productions in Greece.
About the speaker
With studies and experience in acting, Gregory Patrik Karr has worked in Greece and abroad in theatre, film and television and collaborations with top Greek and international directors and actors. Gregory has competed at Cannes for best actor (in Angelopoulos’ The Suspended Step of the Stork), worked and toured with The Royal Shakespeare Company and La Mama Theatre New York among others and graduated with honors at the legendary Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, alma mater of the likes of Lawrence Olivier, Harold Pinter and Vanessa Redgrave to name a few. He has starred opposite actors such as Jeanne Moreau, Marcello Mastroianni, James Fox and Charles Dance and directed English dubbing for top directors such Theo Angelopoulos (Dust of Time: with Michel Piccoli and William Dafoe), Nikos Koundouros (Byron: Ballad of a Demon, The Photographers) and Giannis Smaragdis (El Greco). He has also worked with some of the most legendary Greek actors in all media, such as Alekos Alexandrakis and Ilias Logothetis, as well as voice-overed hundreds of documentaries, industrial videos and commercials for both in Greece and abroad. Currently he is writing, directing, acting and producing both independent and commercial films and negotiating breakthrough projects for the international market. The completion and release of his first feature film The Neighbour is being finalized and negotiated for the end of 2023.

An independent, not-for-profit, nonsectarian, co-educational, institution, the College has sought since its founding to offer a transformative, U.S.-style learning experience to its students while instilling the ethos “Non ministrari sed ministrare”
(“Not to be served but to serve”), a dictum which continues to underpin the College’s mission and vision.
About the event

The event will feature high-level speakers from the Greek Embassy in the U.S., the U.S. State Department and the U.S. and Greek business communities and will showcase ACG’s long- standing ties with U.S. academic institutions, top-quality education and research programs, and economic and social impact in Greece.

Athens Youth Symphony Orchestra
For the third decade, the Athens Youth Symphony Orchestra – ASON (Αθηναϊκή Συμφωνική Ορχήστρα Νέων – ΑΣΟΝ) trains the young and new musicians and introduces them to the great symphonic repertoire. A great number of musicians among the members of professional Greek orchestras today “learned the job” behind the ASON music stands. Permanent conductor Pavlos Sergiou seeks systematically the presence of ASON not only in Athens but also throughout the Greek region. In its short history, ASON can be proud of the large number of early performances of works often written in not easy idioms; for giving over two hundred fifty (250) concerts throughout the country; for its partnership with some of the most prominent Greek soloists; for providing systematic “forum” to young Greek and foreign conductors and soloists, and for its pedagogic work through concerts (of both: the whole Orchestra and various chamber music groups) in schools.
It should be noted that the most enthusiastic founding member of ASON was Mrs. Nancy Bargerstock, distinguished violinist and professor at that time at Deree – The American College of Greece.

Supported by: Art History, Graphic Design, and Visual Arts Programs
About the event
The Frances Rich School of Fine and Performing Arts at Deree – The American College of Greece in collaboration with Radio Athènes presents the exhibition Nikos Velmos (1890-1930) Drawings curated by Galini Notti at Radio Athènes, in Plaka, Athens. The exhibition presents a selection of Nikos Velmos’s drawings from The American College of Greece Art Collection, which includes 438 drawings donated by the collector Takis Efstathiou. It is the first time that part of Velmos’s drawings is being exhibited 93 years after his death.
About the artist
Nikos Velmos (1890-1930, Athens, Greece), pseudonym of Nikos Voyatzakis, was a self-taught artist with a diverse, critical and socially engaged approach to the arts and politics. He was involved in theater, literature and painting. In 1926 he started publishing the journal Frangelio (The Scourge) in which he criticized the hypocrisy and the establishment of his epoch but also included literary writings of his own along with these of other noteworthy poets and writers. Apart from the main magazine, in 1927 Velmos published a supplement called Filla Technis (Art Papers) of Frangelio. These were monographs on Greek and international artists such as El Greco, Beethoven, Yiannoulis Chalepas or thematic issues as for instance οn self-taught artists. The publication of Frangelio lasted until 1929.
In 1928 Velmos opened an art space on the ground floor of his house, at 21 Nikodimou street in Plaka, which he named Asylon Technis (Art Shelter). In Asylon Technis Velmos organized exhibitions of established artists such as Yiannoulis Chalepas and Dimitris Galanis, educational exhibitions as the one on El Greco with print reproductions and copies by renowned Greek artists, as well as exhibitions of self-taught artists like himself. Yiannis Tsarouchis first exhibited in Asylon Technis. The exhibitions of self-taught artists aimed not only at the recognition of important yet overlooked artists but also opposed the academicism of his era. Asylon Technis and Frangelio were particularly important for the art life of Athens at the time. In addition to the exhibitions in Asylon Technis conversations on artistic and sociopolitical issues were being organized. It became a hub for the most prominent art personalities of this period, such as Stratis Doukas, Fotis Kontoglou, Spyros Papaloukas, Aghinor Asteriadis, Giulio Caimi, and Dimitris Pikionis – the avant-garde of that time which paved the way for the forthcoming generation of the 1930s.
Regarding the painting of Nikos Velmos, many of his drawings are illustrations for Frangelio. He painted the persons close to him, his friends – many of them were his contemporaries – everyday people, the poor and the outcasts whose hardship he could feel. He also painted landscapes, trees, animals, decorative patterns, set designs, theatrical scenes, saints.
The drawings of Nikos Velmos depict their epoch, Greece after the Asia Minor Catastrophe, but they are both historical and contemporary. They express his deep connection with people and life, his subversive ideas and point of view on art. He approached art, politics and life as a whole. He didn’t distinguish between the arts. Art and life were interrelated for him. He wrote, “Art comes from the experience of life”* in a text about the actor, theater director and his teacher Thomas Economou. He relied on self-organization and his friends, he was hands-on, and he created a framework and a network for the recognition of people and works he considered noteworthy but marginal. He didn’t seek to gain renown through his actions but was interested in defending his ideas against all forms of power and standing by the side of the poor and weak. All his life, action and art were a battle fought with different means, for a fairer world.
The current exhibition comprises many persons and places, taverns, graveyards, the house of Rodakis in Aegina, Panormos in Tinos where he went to meet Chalepas, Athens, Mount Athos. It approaches the work of Nikos Velmos as contemporary work. It is presented at Radio Athènes in Plaka, near Nikodimou street, where Asylon Technis used to be, and is being held thanks to the support and trust of the Frances Rich School of Fine and Performing Arts at Deree – The American College of Greece and Radio Athènes.
* Nikos Velmos, “Thomas Economou”, magazine Frangelio, no 14, 19 March 1927, p. 3. Reprinted at the magazine Farfoulas, issues 19-20-21, November 2016, p. 55.

About the ACG Art Collection
The American College of Greece Art Collection (ACG Art Collection), is an organic part of the educational mission of the College and is the result of diligent support of emerging and established artists – the majority of them of Greek origin – and of donations and bequests. It is an extensive collection of fine and decorative arts which numbers approximately 4,500 artworks of various media and objects from Antiquity to the present. The majority of the works of the collection are on permanent display in the interior and exterior spaces of the college premises. During the annual exhibition, which is held as part of the annual Arts Festival at the ACG Art Gallery, invited artists and curators are encouraged to explore and make use of the collection. The collection is accessible to academic researchers, students, art professionals and the general public, and serves as an educational and research platform.
About Radio Athènes
Radio Athènes, Institute for the Advancement of Contemporary Visual Culture, is a book project, a showroom, an exhibition space and a curatorial practice. Flexible, independent, nomadic, interdisciplinary, Radio Athènes works together with emerging, established and under-recognized artists from around the world to present exhibitions, lectures, screenings and readings in the fields of contemporary art, literature, philosophy, dance and the applied arts. It is dedicated to new ideas, and experiments with formats that challenge our perception of art. Recent projects include the archiving and contextualization of the work of Bia Davou and Pantelis Xagoraris, Greek artists working in the 1970s, largely unknown outside our geographic coordinates; the creation of www.radioathenes.tv , a site serving up a collective experience to dispersed viewers in collaboration with designer David Reinfurt; and Always Starts with an Encounter: Wols—Eileen Quinlan (co-published with Sequence Press), a book reflecting on two artists from different centuries that have been exploring the material boundaries of the photographic process. Radio Athènes was founded by Helena Papadopoulos in 2015.
Special thanks to Aristide Antonas and ASFA for lending us one of the display cases from the Vitrines Project (2017) especially designed for Documenta 14; Socratis Loupas for sharing his knowledge on Nikos Velmos; Diamantis Karavolas; Takis Efstathiou; Dr. Katerina Thomas; Effie Halivopoulou; Ioanna Papapavlou; Niki Kladakis; and Dessy Griva.

About the lecture
Throughout Jewish history, irrational, intense and disproportionate hatred of the Jewish People and its violent aftermath have presented existential threats to Jewish communities around the world. Contemporary antisemitism focuses primarily, but not exclusively, on fabricated allegations intending to demonize and delegitimize the Jewish State and by extension, vilify Jews and others anywhere who support Israel’s existence. Commensurate with the continuity and magnitude of this extreme prejudice and behavior, there is an extensive literature on the history and historical analyses of the phenomenon, but a relative lack of rigorous attempts to understand underlying psychological dimensions of the groups and individuals who actualize antisemitism. Specifically, existing treatments do not provide concurrent analyses of different types of antisemitism, and do not address how individuals occupying different positions within antisemitic group hierarchies differ with respect to cognitive, emotional, motivational, and perceptual modalities in general and their interactive relationships to antisemitism.
This talk will briefly outline different types of human information processing, hierarchical organizational structures, and aggression types. These building blocks will be used to identify and differentiate distinct types of antisemitism, the psychology of individuals occupying different positions in antisemitic hierarchies from the complex (e.g., national) to the simple (e.g., lone wolves), and suggest strategies for effectively countering the multifaceted array of antisemitic organizations and individuals aligned against the Jewish People by effective messaging and activities. Proposed empirical studies to validate and refine these ideas will be described.
Bio of the Speaker
Dr. David Nussbaum, Ph. D., C. Psych.
Assistant Professor, University of Toronto Scarborough (retired); ISGAP Senior Research Fellow
Prof. Nussbaum was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) between 2005 and 2013. Prior to his position at UTSC, he was an Adjunct Professor at York University from 1984 to 2004. More recently from 2011 through 2020, Prof. Nussbaum held a series of renewed Guest (Visiting) Professorships at the China University of Political Science and Law, Beijing, China. Originally setting out to be a clinical psychologist, he instead followed a radically different approach to understanding behavior that was afforded by a third-year undergraduate course entitled “Molecular Psychobiology”. Following graduate school, he retrained as a clinician and worked within forensic settings doing both clinical work and research. Prof. Nussbaum was continuously struck by the absence of behavioral neuroscience in the forensic area and conducted both his clinical practice and empirical research within a behavioral neuroscience framework. An elected Fellow of both the Canadian (CPA) and American Psychological Associations, he was awarded Professor of the Year (Psychology) at UTSC in 2011. He served as Chair of the CPA Sections on Criminal Justice (7 years), Psychopharmacology (23 years), and Extremism and Terrorism (6 years.) Prof. Nussbaum has also served as a Psychology Member of the Ontario Review Board since 1997.

Ένας από τους βασικούς στόχους, μεταξύ άλλων, είναι να εντοπίσει βιώσιμες και καινοτόμες λύσεις με θετικό αντίκτυπο για το κλίμα.
Το Climathon αποτελεί μία από τις πρωτοβουλίες του ΕΙΤ Climate-KIC (Κοινότητα Γνώσης και Καινοτομίας για το κλίμα), η οποία υποστηρίζεται από το Ευρωπαϊκό Ινστιτούτο Καινοτομίας και Τεχνολογίας (ΕΙΤ). Επιδίωξη του Climathon είναι η ενίσχυση των ενεργειών των δήμων και των πολιτών για την αντιμετώπιση της κλιματικής αλλαγής. Μέχρι σήμερα, το Climathon έχει καταφέρει να ενώσει 200 μεγάλες πόλεις, σε 65 χώρες και στις 6 ηπείρους, υποστηρίζοντας καινοτόμες δράσεις στο πλαίσιο του αστικού περιβάλλοντος και φιλοξενώντας πάνω από 9.000 συμμετέχοντες!

Στην καρδιά της πρωτοβουλίας βρίσκονται οι διοργανωτές του Climathon σε κάθε πόλη, οι οποίοι υποστηρίζουν και προωθούν το κίνημα σε όλο τον κόσμο. Δήμοι, επιχειρήσεις, σχολεία και πανεπιστήμια, ειδικοί και μη, νέοι και γονείς καλούνται να συμμετάσχουν σε αυτό το ταξίδι συνδημιουργίας νέων λύσεων.
Το Climathon στην Αγία Παρασκευή θα πραγματοποιηθεί στις 18 και 19 Νοεμβρίου 2022 στο Αμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Eλλάδος από το Αμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Ελλάδος, τον Δήμο Αγίας Παρασκευής και το ΕΚ ΑΘΗΝΑ, που διευθύνει το EIT Climate-KIC Hub Greece σε συνεργασία με το Κέντρο Αριστείας για τη Bιωσιμότητα, Αμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Ελλάδος, Γραφείο Public Affairs, Aμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Ελλάδος.
Σήμερα, περισσότερο από ποτέ, χρειαζόμαστε καινοτόμες ιδέες και δράσεις για το κλίμα επιδιώκοντας μηδενικές εκπομπές άνθρακα σε παγκόσμια κλίμακα. Ως εκ τούτου, φιλοδοξούμε να συνεισφέρουμε στην εξεύρεση αποτελεσματικών λύσεων για τις πραγματικές κλιματικές προκλήσεις.

About the event
Melancholy seems to blossom everywhere these days: in literature and music, in politics and civic life, and in many scholarly fields such as political theory, philosophy, anthropology, psychology, art history, cultural studies, queer studies, literary studies, and post-colonial studies. Some projects embrace it while others warn against it. Attitudes to melancholy vary: is it personal or collective? Romantic or post-modern? Cultural or psychological? Gendered or racial? Paralyzing or enabling? A basic element most attitudes share is the pursuit of an elusive freedom that no rebellion against authority can attain. This lecture will survey the melancholic pursuit of freedom in our disorienting century, explore what makes it so powerful and seemingly futile, and relate it to contemporary Greek poetry.
The event is free and open to the public.

Eleftherios Venizelos Chair Lecture 2022
Lecture by: Christine Philliou
Professor of History and Director of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies and Modern Greek Studies Programs at UC Berkeley
When: November 3, 2022 | 19:30
Where: ACG Events Hall, The American College of Greece
About the event
In this centennial year since the Asia Minor Catastrophe and the destruction of Smyrna, we mourn and commemorate the loss of Hellenism in Asia Minor, and increasingly, the tortuous experiences of Asia Minor Greeks who had lived in peace but suffered death, exile, deportation, and traumatic uprooting that accompanied the defeat of the Greek national army.
This year’s Venizelos Chair holder, Christine Philliou, will make the case that instead of one master story, encased in the larger drama of the Greek nation-state, we can better understand these events and the legacy they still have in our lives by considering other, related “stories,” or narratives, that are linked to but at the same time not contained within that master narrative. Dr. Philiou will demonstrate this with a few case studies taken from contemporary sources, including the episodes in the story of Pierce College, and taking us to Berlin, the US, and back to Western Macedonia. There were many threads, and many meanings of the tragic events of 1922. Dr. Philliou hopes to show how we can broaden our understanding by thinking historically and turning our attention ever so slightly in other directions.

About the speaker
Christine Philliou (Fulbright ’00-’01), Professor of History and Director of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies and Modern Greek Studies Programs at UC Berkeley, specializes in the political, social, and cultural history of the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey and Greece as parts of the post-Ottoman world.
Her first book, Biography of an Empire: Governing Ottomans in an Age of Revolution (University of California Press, 2011; Greek edition Alexandria Press, 2021; Turkish edition İş Bankası Kültür Press, 2022), examined the changes in Ottoman governance leading up to the Tanzimat reforms of the mid-nineteenth century. It did so using the vantage point of Phanariots, an Orthodox Christian elite that was intimately involved in the day-to-day work of governance even though structurally excluded from belonging to the Ottoman state. Her second book Turkey: A Past Against History (University of California Press, 2021; Greek edition Alexandria Press, 2022), focuses on the fraught history of the idea of opposition/dissent, connecting literature, politics and the construction of official History in the Ottoman Second Constitutional and Republican period of Turkish history. In it, she highlights the political, personal and intellectual/artistic itinerary of the Ottoman/Turkish writer and perennial dissident Refik Halid Karay (1888-1965). The premise is that, in the absence of a sustained opposition party between 1908 and 1950, there developed a more abstract space of opposition and dissent, half in the imagination and half in political reality, in Ottoman, and then after 1923 Republican Turkish intellectual life. She uses Refik Halid Karay, and the concept of muhalefet in Turkish, to explore the changing nature and contours of that space through the supposed rupture that separated the Ottoman Empire from Modern Turkey. She has recently established, with the support of the Modern Greek Studies Foundation, the Nikos Kazantzakis Visiting Scholar Program at UC Berkeley.

About the event
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Asia Minor Disaster, acclaimed author and journalist Giles Milton will present the anniversary edition of his book, Paradise Lost. Spyridon Ploumidis, Associate Professor at the Department of History and Archaeology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, will participate in a discussion with the author. Haris Vlavianos, ACG Professor of History, will be the moderator.

About the book
On Saturday, September 9, 1922, the victorious Turkish cavalry rode into Smyrna, the richest and most cosmopolitan city in the Ottoman Empire. There was widespread fear in the city that the victorious Turkish army would lash out with vehement ferocity at the inhabitants of Smyrna.
But the reality refuted even the most ominous prediction. What happened over the next two weeks must rank as one of the most compelling human dramas of the twentieth century — the drama of uprooting thousands of refugees whose blood flows in the veins of many Greek families today. Almost two million people were embroiled in a disaster of truly epic proportions.
Paradise Lost is a powerful story of disaster, heroism and survival, told in the narrative verve that has made Giles Milton a bestselling journalist and writer. It unfolds through the memories of the survivors, many interviewed for the first time, and the eyewitness accounts of those who found themselves caught up in one of the greatest catastrophes of the modern age.
Bio of the Author
Giles Milton was born in Buckinghamshire, UK, in 1966 and was educated at Latymer Upper School and the University of Bristol. He is an internationally best-selling author specializing in narrative history who takes an event from the past and makes it come alive. Milton’s works of narrative history rely on personal testimonies, diaries, journals, and letters to make sense of key historical moments recounted through the eyes of those who were there. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages.
Russian Roulette (Minoas, 2014) recounts the secret service’s early days and British spies’ attempt to thwart Lenin’s revolution. In Churchill’s Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (Minoas, 2017), the author narrates the story of a top-secret organization founded in London whose purpose is to plot the destruction of Hitler’s war machine through spectacular acts. D-Day (Minoas, 2019) recounts the events that led to the largest military landing in World War II. “Checkmate in Berlin” (Minoas, 2021) is an immersive story of the race to seize Berlin in the aftermath of World War II. Minoas publications also publish the following Milton works: The Perfect Corpse (book, 2017), “Wolfram: The Boy Who Went to War” (story, 2011), and Edward Trencom’s Nose (novel, 2008).
