Biography
Dr Papargyriou first came to the Centre for Hellenic Studies as an ERASMUS student from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where she completed her BA in Medieval and Modern Greek Language and Literature. She then went on to graduate studies at Oxford. Her DPhil thesis, “Reading Games in Twentieth-Century Greek Fiction”, was awarded the Hellenic Foundation prize for the best thesis in the modern category in 2005. Since then she has taught both Modern Greek language and Modern Greek literature at the University of Oxford, and in 2007-8 was Hannah Seeger Davis Postdoctoral Fellow in the Program in Hellenic Studies at Princeton University.
