Graduate Program

At the graduate level students will be studying with professors Krallis and Gerolymatos doing work under their supervision in their respective fields of interest: Byzantium and 20th century Greece.

Professor Dimitris Krallis will happily supervise students interested in Byzantine social, political, economic and intellectual history, while maintaining an interest in work that deals with the reception of Byzantium.

Professor Andre Gerolymatos will supervise students interested in social, political, and military history of the Modern Greek state, while also looking for students with a fascination in ideas of security in modern politics.

In the future our program will seek to hire a scholar with expertise in era from the fall of Constantinople to the 19th century, thus seamlessly integrating the interests of the two existing professors. Naturally graduate students will be expected to work with other faculty members of the History Department as they acquire the requisite breadth and as they place their interest in Hellenism in global contexts.
