<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Arial">We invite submissions for the 3rd PhD symposium on 'Contemporary Greece: Structures, Context and Challenges'. A main objective of the symposium is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas between young scholars currently undertaking research on Greece. The 3rd symposium, as with the previous two, is intended to help graduate research students to overcome the academic isolation associated to PhD research, to 'try' their ideas and findings on wider audiences, and to establish new collaborative links across disciplines. Researchers will also be able to 'engage' with a wider academic community, including academic members of staff at the LSE, and also a number of other distinguished scholars who will act as keynote speakers and discussants to the symposium.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Arial">We welcome contributions from research students (current and recent) across any field of the Social Sciences and Humanities whose PhD focuses on contemporary Greece. The topics covered in the symposium include, but are not limited to: · Media and Public Perceptions · Foreign Policy · Public Policy (including welfare, education, and social policies) · Economic Policy (including labour market, industrial, and regional</FONT></SPAN></P>
