Dear Colleagues,
The Greek Politics Specialist Group is pleased to share the following news and details about forthcoming call for papers, call for speakers, job opportunities and publications:
GPSG NEWS
- Funding Competition: In January 2018, GPSG was successful in the PSA Specialist Group ‘Pushing the Boundaries’ funding competition. The PSA awarded the Greek Politics and German Politics Specialist Groups £2,000 towards the organisation of a joint Greek-German symposium on refugee politics. The event, titled ‘Understanding Refugee Politics: Reflections on the German, Greek and UK Experience’, will be held in May 2018 at the Scottish Parliament. If you are interested in the event or in getting involved, please contact Dr. Georgios Karyotis, GPSG’s Co-Convenor.
- Call for GPSG Working Papers: The Greek Politics Specialist Group welcomes scholarly working papers, as well as preliminary or interim reports of ongoing research. There is no word limit, although we would encourage prospective contributors to aim for a length of 3,000 – 4,000 words (research reports) and 4,000 – 8,000 words (full papers). Featuring your paper on our website has many benefits as it can attract experts and interested parties who may then wish to promote your work or provide you with valuable feedback.
For more information please contact Panagiota Manoli.
