As part of the activities marking the 170th anniversary of the University of Athens, the Faculty of English Language and Literature organised a one-day event on the Faculty’s history, and its continuing contribution in the wide area of English Studies. The colloquium brought together faculty members who discussed the department’s innovative, interdisciplinary work in both the areas of teaching and research, and alumni who pursue careers in education and culture. Alongside the colloquium, a book exhibition was organised, and an exhibition of archive photographs was hosted by the Departmental Library.
