Athens Offers New Opportunities for Columbia Students

Columbia Global Center Athens is opening up great new opportunities for Columbia students interested in learning about culture and society in the historic city.

The Columbia Summer Global Core: The Athens Experience course will examine how particular spaces serve as sites for cultural and political vision, such as urban planning, nation-making, and democracy.

The course "Hellenism and the Topographical Imagination" examines how cultural, urban, and literary spaces shape national and political identity. Through seminars, site visits, and workshop sessions, students collaborate with peers to create a meaningful contribution to Athens' cultural landscape.

The Athens Center is welcoming a series of additional courses in 2025 about architecture, social work with refugees and displaced persons, migration and epigraphy.
