This web page includes information about my research interests,
teaching activities and publications. My research focuses on the history
of modern Greek identity in Greece and in the diaspora and my interest
in ethnicity and nationalism shapes the courses I teach. For a short

The Journey: The Greek American Dream
I recently collaborated with filmmaker Maria Iliou as the historical advisor in the making of the documentary film The Journey: The Greek American Dream (2007, 80 mins.) and the companion exhibition of photographs used in the documentary. The rich visual material depicting the life of Greek immigrants that Iliou located in archives and collections in the United States is arranged around a three part historical narrative. It recounts the arrival and settlement of the Greeks at the turn of the twentieth century, their gradual assimilation into American society and the revival of Greek ethnicity in the 1970s. The Athens daily Kathimerini described it as "a rich story wonderfully told and revealed". For more information and links to press reviews, click here.
