The Center for Hellenic Studies is pleased to share reflections from the six Early Career Fellows in Hellenic Studies 2025–2026, Özge Acar, Michail Marinis, Georgios Mouratidis, Aikaterini Peppa, Ermioni Prokopaki, and Yannis Stamos. In these reflections, the fellows discuss their research, the opportunities that supported their work, and the collaborations and conversations that shaped their fellowship year. Together, their contributions highlight the breadth of the [Early Career Fellowship Program in Hellenic Studies in Greece and Cyprus](/research-fellowships/early-career "Early Career Fellowships in Hellenic Studies in Greece and Cyprus") and the academic community that supports it.
