Summer Opportunities for Columbia Students
Applications Now Open
SNFPHI collaborates with Columbia Global to offer the undergraduate program Columbia Summer Global Core: Athens Curatorial Project. This program takes Athens as a vantage point to consider larger contemporary issues regarding urban planning and nation-making, public life and democracy, climate crisis and displacement, and immigration and the accommodation of cultural alterity. It is structured around the seminar Hellenism and the Topographical Imagination (which fulfils the Global Core requirement for Columbia College students), site visits, field trips, walking tours, and workshop sessions, all of which prepare students to curate an exhibition as their final project.
