The Center for Hellenic Studies is a common forum for researchers of many aspects of the Hellenic world— language, art, thought, history, and culture— across the University of Chicago and an interdisciplinary research center aiming to cross-fertilize research across paradigms, fields, and frameworks.
The Center's vision of Greece is not simply a geographical area or a political entity, but a multidimensional, diversified intellectual space which, through time and geography, has produced and continues to produce ideas that inform, engage, and inspire contributions in a multitude of research areas, methodologies, and audiences. It aims to pay special attention to the study of Hellenic diaspora, and highlight the, largely unknown, varied Greek experiences and identities that exist in the world today.
