On Wednesday 23 February the Institute will host its third event of the 2021-2022 academic year. This will be an in-person lecture in the auditorium of the Institute’s new premises (Orminiou 3A, Ilisia).

Starting at 18.30, Katerina Apokatanidis (Neda and Franz Leipen Fellow, The Canadian Institute in Greece; Ph.D. candidate in Classical Archaeology, University of Toronto)  will give a talk entitled,  “Greek Funerary Religion: The Case-Study of the Orphic Gold Tablets”.

A Grad student on the road…

My name is Alice Maksimowski, and I was lucky enough to be one of two interns at the Canadian Institute in Greece this past fall term. It was an amazing experience to have, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when so many people have been stuck at home and unable to travel. In this post, I would like to share some of my favourite experiences and pictures that I hope will encourage others to come and explore the culture, history, and archaeology of Greece.
