The 23rd Biennial Symposium of the Modern Greek Studies Association will be held at Indiana University from November 14-16. Approximately 140 scholars of Greece from across North America and the world are expected to attend, including close to 80 presenters.

The Modern Greek Studies Association also will present awards for books, research publications and translations in the discipline. Highlights also will include a talk by economist and public intellectual Yanis Varoufakis, an evening of literary readings and a discussion of contemporary Greek-American creative writing; and a dinner concert by one of Greece's finest "rembetika" folk music bands.
