About the roundtable series:
Under the general title “Modern Greek Studies and Beyond: Local Cases, Global Debates,” the roundtable discussions will bring local case studies from Greek culture, society, history, and politics to bear on larger and timely theoretical, political, and cultural debates: debates on ecocriticism, fascism and populism, biopolitics and race, the relevance of contemporary (Greek) art, languages of futurity from the European and Global South, and Covid-19 as a transversal crisis.

By inviting speakers situated (mainly or partly) in Modern Greek studies alongside speakers working in other fields, we will explore how cases from modern and contemporary Greek culture, politics, and history can be relevant for scholars whose work is not (only) situated in Modern Greek Studies, and ask how Modern Greek studies could be repositioned through an engagement with such global debates.
We aim at inclusivity and diversity in speakers and audiences and at stimulating interdisciplinary dialogues that will take scholars outside the comfort zones of their disciplines. In each roundtable, invited speakers from different disciplines and career stages will converse with each other, in order to promote exchanges among scholars who might normally not sit around the same academic table.

About the network:
“Rethinking Modern Greek Studies in the 21st century: A Cultural Analysis Network” emerged from a partnership between the departments of Modern Greek at Oxford and Amsterdam but brings together scholars in several universities around the world and aims to progressively widen its reach to include more partners and countries.

Our inaugural conference in Oxford (January 31- February 1, 2020) was the first meeting place for the formation of a dynamic network of scholars that has been growing ever since (a series of blogposts reflecting on the first meeting of the network are available here). Given the current restrictions that do not allow us to host face-to-face events, we will continue the network’s activities this academic year with this online roundtable series and – if the situation allows it – a 2-day conference in Amsterdam in the spring of 2021. The series will include five to six roundtables spread throughout the current academic year.

I loved college, recorded each professor AND simultaneous wrote shorthand notes re-listened to professors' speeches and perfect grades. But on public video, you can either inform academically as on this video-- or focus on persuading on this video. Video was academic and lost persuasive quality. In brief persuasive attempt by me-- Golden Dawn nonfamily couple murdered my birth mother in front of me age 2, her bloody eyes exploded all over me from cyanide as she happily sang " baby ann" and sat beside in her white house robe. Ivan treblinka then raised me from age 2, he said Anton Lavey was a boyfriend of my birth mother. Ivan murdered my 4 year old friend Christopher in front of me, he cut out child's dtomach alive as he screamed 40? Seconds then silence. Ivan held bloody knife and said, " Ann, if you show any fear, any tears in your eyes as i press this knife to your throat, i will kill another innocent child and it will be your fault." In my 5(?) Year old mind, i was safeguarding the world's children. My chin pressed upward. My eyes never cried nor teared....until age 16 never cried. Ivan's bloody knife pressed hard to my throat. " Good!" Ivan treblinka said, his eyebrows arched high, surprised. Golden daen has members out of control, very brilliant academically, linguistically, smart people are in golden dawn. Don't abuse power

That's quite a lot of emotional language and subjectivity for people who would consider themselves to be scientists. Unfortunately, it's not surprising.
