  • American School of Classical Studies at Athens Newsletter Index 1977-2012 the Index Is Geared Toward Subjects, Sites, and Major
    American School of Classical Studies at Athens Newsletter Index 1977-2012 The index is geared toward subjects, sites, and major figures in the history of the School, and only the major subject of an article. Not every individual has a cross-entry: look for subject and site, first—entries that will tend to be more complete. Note: The symbol (F) next to an entry signifies the presence of a photograph of the subject. S = Spring [occasionally, Summer] Issue; F = Fall Issue; and W= Winter Issue, followed by the year and page number. Parentheses within subentries surround subsubentries, which would otherwise be indented and consume more space; this level of entry is separated by commas rather than semi-colons. When in doubt in a jungle of parentheses, refer to the right of the last semi-colon for the relevant subhead. Where this method becomes less effective, e.g., at “mega”-entries like the Gennadeion, typesetting devices like boldface and indentation have been added.

  • Gennadeion Notes, I
    GENNADEION NOTES, I (PLATES 119-124) T nHE Gennadius Library, though it has been an integral part of the American School of Classical Studies since 1926, has too often remained terra incognita, or parum cognita, to many of the School's members and visitors. The reasons are not far to seek. As a collector and bibliophile,John Gennadiustook for his subject Greece, Greece in all its aspects and of all periods, classical, medieval and modern alike. Much of the collection, therefore, lies outside the normal range of classical studies. More- over, the classical section, rich though it is in certain restricted areas, notably in Renaissance editions of Greek authors and in early archaeological publications, is far from adequate for most types of research. By deliberate policy, to avoid unnecessary duplication with the main library of the School, new accessions are made almost en- tirely in the post-classical fields, and the classical portion of Gennadius' collection remains substantially as he left it. Nevertheless, it 'contains many rare items of great value and interest to the student of antiquity, and it seems appropriate, as occasion offers, to call some of these to the attention of classicists through the pages of Hesperia. The followingInote is presented, optimistically, as the first of a proposed series. I.

The list of subscribers, headed by the King, is long and impressive, running to five large folio pages in double columns.

A consortium of nearly 200 North American colleges and universities, the School provides graduate students and scholars a base for the advanced study of all aspects of Greek culture, from antiquity to the present day. The School remains, as its founders envisioned, primarily a privately funded, nonprofit educational and cultural center dedicated to preserving and promoting Greece’s rich heritage. The mission of the School is to advance knowledge of Greece (and related Mediterranean areas) in all periods by training young scholars, sponsoring and promoting archaeological fieldwork, providing resources for scholarly work, and disseminating research. The School is also charged by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports with primary responsibility for all American archaeological research in the country and is actively engaged in supporting the investigation, preservation, and presentation of Greece’s cultural heritage.

  • In-Between the Constitution and the European Court of Human Rights: Mobilizations Around Religion and Education in Greece
    Politics and Religion, 12 (2019), S31–S54 © Religion and Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, 2018.

The findings indicate that despite the relevance of ECtHR case law with the specific field in Greece, the Court’s role in influencing such national debates is minimal. Drawing on empirical research and discourse analysis, the paper argues that this is due to the doctrine of the margin of appreciation, apparently linked to strategic references to and varying interpretations of the Court’s judgments; the unwillingness of actors to litigate in a potentially sensitive, lengthy, and costly procedure; and to a shared belief in the perceived primacy of constitutional provisions on religion and education that precludes the formation of structured mobilizations. INTRODUCTION In October 2015, former Greek Minister of Education, Nikos Filis, announced his decision to reform the class of religious education (RE), liberating it from its mono-religious focus on Christian Orthodoxy and rendering it more pluralistic.
