Greece

James Razumoff, CGII GGR Fall 2024 Research

My project examines the experience of “Afro-Turks” in the late Ottoman and early Turkish republican periods. This project will frame these experiences within the context of race, migration, displacement, and the formation of nation-states in the wake of WWI.

This research integrates several methods to comprehend the movements of forcibly displaced people in Athens, Greece, and neighboring areas.

The Aegean islands are experiencing the dramatic effects of climate change, including droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, rising seas, and massive migration from nearby failing states.

On average, over 16,000 people ascend the rocky outcrop of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece each day. The main attractions are the remains of the monumental religious buildings, namely the Parthenon, a 5th century BCE temple to Athena.

The project attempts to fill knowledge gaps about rural life in ancient Attica, illuminating the role of its frontiers.

Performance spaces are critical to understanding how spectators experience music.

The students will form an essential part of KASP’s pedestrian field team during the first campaign, along with students from other universities, the co-directors and specialist scholars (see below ‘global mission’).

I will investigate the different modes of interaction concerning humans, animals, and animal iconography across the sociopolitical and ideological realms of Minoan Crete.

My project explores the creation of sacred space and the treatment of 'special dead' (victims of the plague and leprosy) within a newly excavated cemetery in Late Antique Thebes, Greece.
