Overview of Fellowship Study Guide Project

Fellowship Responsibility

It is the responsibility of each Greek Fellow to develop curriculum — in the form of Study Guides — pertaining to the study of Greece, based on his/her discipline or area of interest. Serious consideration should be given to this project as the year progresses. The curriculum development project will be presented at the reception at Brandeis University held to welcome new Greek Study Fellows into The Examined Life program. Each project will be considered for publication on this website.
