The American School concluded a very successful Fall Lecture Series in Cotsen Hall on December 15, 2009 with six lectures (two in Greek) covering a wide range of topics. Each lecture can be viewed below in its entirety and runs approximately 50-75 minutes in length.
The lecture series resumes February 9 with a presentation by the School’s Mellon Professor Margaret M. Miles on afterlives of Classical temples.
The ASCSA would like to thank the Canellopoulos Foundation and the United States Department of Education for their generous support of the Director’s Lecture Series, and also to Lloyd E. Cotsen for the Gennadius Lecture Series. Thanks also to Nikos Manias for his recording of the presentations.
