3rd Greek Canadian Studies Conference

May 9-10, 2024

The Hellenic Canadian Academic Association of Ontario supported the 3rd Greek Canadian Studies Conference. The conference was hosted by Professor Sakis Gekas, HCAAO President and the Hellenic Heritage Foundation Chair of Modern Greek History, and the HHF Greek Canadian Archives at York University at the Polymenakion Cultural Centre.

The central theme of this year’s conference was “Diasporic Identity: Performance and Practice.” Participants discussed how Greek Canadian identity and Greekness were conceptualized and enacted in Canada. The conference offered artists, academics, and other Greek Canadians a platform to share fresh insights into what it has meant to be Greek Canadian historically and what it means today.
