The Asia Minor and Pontos Hellenic Research Center (AMPHRC) announces funds to support original research on the study of Hellenism in Asia Minor, Eastern Thrace, and Pontos, including the destruction of Greek communities in the early twentieth century by two consecutive Turkish regimes. The availability of these funds is made possible due to a special arrangement between the Ivan Savvidis Foundation Scholarship Fund and the AMPHRC.
Since its founding, the AMPHRC has been dedicated to expanding the knowledge of contemporary scholars, and informing the public at large about the history and genocide of Greeks in Anatolia. The AMPHRC has sponsored several international conferences in Chicago and New York, established an office and research library, has created a curriculum for high school use, and published several books.
We invite original research proposals from qualified individuals (recent PhDs, PhD students, postdoctoral and senior scholars). The Center is particularly interested in the period approximately between 1821 to 1924. We are interested in subjects such as, e.g., the social, political and economic life of Greeks in the Ottoman Empire, the policy of Greece regarding the Greeks of Asia Minor, the genocide, and the Greek Diaspora.
