Now settled into its new home on campus, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture at the University of California, Los Angeles has a full schedule of public events this winter, covering broad ground from the history of everybody’s favorite Greek biscuits to storied ceramics caught up in war.

Explore upcoming events, then read the latest newsletter from the Center to learn what a feta tin recycled to hold geraniums has to do with the village of Vamvakou, how to apply for a summer research fellowship in Greece, and why singers are working with people who have lingering medical effects from COVID-19.

The SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture at UCLA, a hub for teaching and research in anthropology, archaeology, art history, classics, digital humanities, Greek, history, and philosophy, received a foundational $5 million grant from SNF in 2017 and launched in 2020.
