The growth of print media has had a huge impact on Greek society. This course offers students an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of its history, and to enhance their understanding of its political and cultural influence.
Key features of the course include:
> an interdisciplinary approach, which will be of interest to historians, sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, professional journalists, librarians and others
> a focus on original historical research that draws on internationally-developed research methods
> opportunities to acquire research experience by means of an engagement with a ETMIET/KENI research project on Greek popular magazines that forms part of a wider study of the history of the Greek periodical press. Student involvement in the project exposes them to its most recent findings, and provides structured opportunities to engage with thematic research workshops and a research conference in 2019
> academic input not only from historians, but also librarians, journalists and other professionals
Students thus not only study the theory and history of print culture, but also learn about the application of those theories and methodologies to the practice of historical research more generally.
The course is supported by ESPIT, co-partner of the research project mentioned above.
Its associated research project is supported by the Cultural Foundation of ESIEA and ESIE Macedonia-Thrace, who advise on the professional and practical skills aspects of the course.
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the course, collaborative possibilities are also being explored with scholars and researchers at an interdepartmental level, within and beyond Panteion University.
