The volume of the minutes of the 7th International Summer University Greek Language, Culture and Media in Hydra was published in Sydney, Australia.
The volume, which was edited by the Professor of the University of Ioannina, Nicoletta Tsitsanoudis – Mallidis, and the Lecturer of Modern Greek Studies Program of Macquarie in Australia, Dr Patricia Koromvokis, is the outcome of an impactful partnership between two continents, two countries, two universities and their human resources under the unprecedented conditions of the coronavirus pandemic.
In particular, the volume has been published by the Laboratory for the Study of Social Issues, Media and Education of the Department of Early Childhood Education of the School of Education Sciences of the University of Ioannina, in collaboration with the Modern Greek Studies Program of the Department of Media, Communications, Creative Arts, Language, and Literature (MCCALL) of the Faculty of Arts of Macquarie University, and is supported by the Macquarie Greek Studies Foundation Limited and its honourable members.
It includes the conference presentations of the 7th International Summer University Greek Language, Culture and Media, which was held with the participation of The Circle of Hellenic Academics in Boston on the Greek island of Hydra in July 2021.
The collective publication is entitled Language and Freedom of Expression. It commemorates the 200 years since the Greek Revolution and aims to highlight a series of current and modern scientific issues that emphasise the dialectical relationship between language and expression and, more specifically, the Greek language and the freedom of expression.
