A. G. Leventis Fellowship in Hellenic Studies, British School at Athens
Since 2002, the A. G. Leventis Foundation has funded a postdoctoral Fellowship in Hellenic Studies at the British School at Athens (BSA), furthering the School’s mission to support advanced research into all aspects of the humanities and social sciences in Greece and Cyprus from antiquity to modern times. The Fellow for 2012-2014, Dr Chryssanthi Papadopoulou (King’s College London), is an underwater archaeologist and Assistant Director of the University of Cyprus Mazotos Shipwreck Project. Her project concerns the identification and study of natural and cultural site formation processes on ancient shipwrecks, and her research interests cover Greek religion, ship anthropology and spatial theory. Her predecessors include Dr Marina Terkourafi (now Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics, University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign), Dr Irene Nikolakopoulou (now of the Archaeological Institute of Aegean Studies of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sport), prehistorian Dr Matthew Haysom (now BSA Knossos Curator) and archaeobotanist Dr Evi Margaritis (who continues her work on ancient cultivation and plant DNA at the University of Cambridge).
