Modern Greece in the Balkans and the European Union. This field course is part of CEES's initiative in Hellenic Studies and is made possible with support from the Hellenic Heritage Foundation and the wider Greek-Canadian Community. As this is a limited enrolment course, with up to 6 places for graduate students, students will need to apply to participate. This course includes a one-week research trip to take place between in early May of each academic year (costs for transportation and accommodation as well as most meals will be covered). Priority will be given to students who will carry on to their exchange or internship placement upon completion of the trip. Only one airfare to the region will be covered.

Interested students are asked to submit a one-page research proposal for the fieldwork component in Greece. In the proposal you are expected to identify a research question and provide a key list of a minimum of 5 potential stakeholders in Greece who will be interviewed. Questions will be designed prior to departure. During the week-long stay in Greece, students will conduct interviews with their selected stakeholders and attend lectures and seminars. The interviews/seminars will then be integrated into the final research essay for the course.
