CONSTANTINE AND GEORGE MACRICOSTAS FELLOWSHIP AT THE GENNADIUS LIBRARY
Deadline: April 15, 2022
The Constantine and George Macricostas Fellowship at the Gennadius Library supports
research on Orthodox Christian Studies with an emphasis on Orthodoxy’s history, religious
traditions, and geographical, geopolitical, and cultural reach. Of particular interest is
the significant role that the institution of the church played in the broader history of
Hellenism. Opened in 1926 with the 26,000-volume collection of diplomat and bibliophile
Joannes Gennadius, the Gennadius Library now houses 145,000 titles of rare books and
bindings, research materials, manuscripts, archives, and works of art that illuminate
Hellenism, Greece, and neighboring civilizations from antiquity to modern times. The
collection includes rare and unique items on the intellectual, social, cultural, political
and institutional history of the Orthodox Church through the centuries. Holdings of 90,000
research titles in open stacks complement the rare books and other collections to create a
comprehensive resource for the history of Greece across ages.
Eligibility: Ph.D. students and those who have earned the Ph.D. within the last 5 years
with research projects focusing on the historical, political, and sociological dimensions
of Eastern Orthodox religion from Late Antiquity to the present. The fields of study may
include, but are not limited to religious studies, anthropology, history, philosophy,
politics, law, and sociology. Open to all nationalities.
Terms: A stipend of $11,500 and waiver of School fees, and housing in Athens, normally at
Loring Hall. If housing is not available in Loring Hall, fellows will be provided with
funds towards their housing costs. Meals, Monday through Friday, are provided at Loring
Hall for all fellows. Fellows are expected to be engaged full-time in the supported
research from early September 2022 to late May 2023, and are expected to participate in
the academic life of the School. A final report is due at the end of the award period, and
the ASCSA expects that copies of all publications that result from research conducted as a
Fellow of the ASCSA be contributed to the Gennadius Library.
Application: Submit an online application form for “Associate Membership with Fellowship.”
An application consists of a curriculum vitae, description of the proposed project (up to
750 words), and three letters of reference to be submitted online. Student applicants must
submit transcripts. Scans of official transcripts are acceptable.
