Short Bio

I am Professor and Chair at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences where I teach courses on Greek history, politics and gender since 1997. After my B.A. and M.A. degrees from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, I received a Fulbright scholarship and completed another M.A. in Anthropology at George Washington University, Washington, D.C.  I gained my Ph.D. in Modern Greek Studies from King’s College, University of London. 

I am the author of a monograph on gendered approaches to local democracy published in Greece and I co-edited a volume on women in art published in the UK along with  many articles on history and politics in Greek and international scientific journals.

I worked as a researcher in three Erasmus+ EU funded projects, I am currently a researcher for a Horizon Europe project titled PULSE-ART that promotes cultural understanding by integrating arts and culture into youth education.
