Description
The Constantine and George Macricostas Fellowship, offered by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA), supports full-academic-year research on Orthodox Christian Studies at the Gennadius Library in Athens. It emphasizes the historical, geographical, geopolitical, and cultural impact of the Orthodox Church, particularly its role in the broader history of Hellenism. Eligible projects examine the historical, political, and sociological dimensions of Eastern Orthodox religion from Late Antiquity to the present.
The Library’s rare books, manuscripts, archives, and works of art illuminate Greece, Hellenism, and neighboring civilizations. Its collections include rare and unique materials documenting the intellectual, social, cultural, political, and institutional history of the Orthodox Church. Fellows use these resources for sustained research and participate in the academic life of the School.
