Award to support the interdisciplinary project Beyond Island Utopias: Transscalar Narratives of Loss, Connection, and Sustainability on Tilos, which seeks to develop innovative ways of narrating Tilos’s layered histories of migration, extinction, sustainability, and cultural and ecological loss. By shifting from paradigms of isolation to transscalar connectivity, this multi-stage project advances Modern Greek Studies as a field that is globally relevant, interdisciplinary, and engaged with urgent issues. MGSA support will help build the project’s pilot website and feature project framework and activities, travel reports, audiovisual documentation, 3D renditions of collected objects, and workshop output. More features will be added in the future, with additional funding, including an interactive map of Tilos.
