The 10th International Conference on Greek Research, presented concurrently with the 2nd International Conference on Ageing in a Foreign Land, will be held at Flinders University in Adelaide on 27-30 June 2013.
The conference is hosted by LOGOS Australian Centre for Hellenic Language and Culture and the Department of Language Studies at Flinders University, with support from The Foundation for Hellenic Studies.
The interdisciplinary conference will explore themes from Greek and Cypriot studies and generational perspectives on ageing.
A vibrant program will be dedicated to papers and posters relating to Greek, Cypriot studies and Ageing in the Migrant Diasporas that will continue the tradition of the international conferences on Greek Research. The program will include the following areas of research: Ancient Greek Philosophy; An Exploration of Digital Environments; Classical Studies; Cyprus from 1960-2013: 53 years later; Education; Generational Perspectives on Ageing; History and Migration; Literature and Language; One-day Professional Development for Teachers in Modern Greek; Online Learning; and Society and Culture.
You can submit abstract works (up to 200 words) using the online Abstract form available on the conference website at www.flinders.edu.au/greekandageingconference. All abstracts should be received by 15 February, however early submissions are encouraged as the number of presentations is limited.
Oral presentations will be made of 20 minute papers, and each session will be followed by a 10 minute discussion time. Poster presentations also welcome.
Parallel sessions and panel discussions will be scheduled over the three days of 28-30 June 2013, and papers will be grouped according to the area of research. The preliminary program will be available on the website as soon as possible. Professional Development seminars for teachers of Modern Greek and teachers of Philosophy will be included in the conference program.
The conference dinner will be held on Thursday 27th June 2013 at the Adelaide Pavilion, overlooking the spectacular surroundings of Veale Gardens. Cost for the dinner including drinks is $90. The conference will be conducted in Greek and English.
