Sep 29 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm

GSUFriends of GSU’s Center for Hellenic Studies,

 The deepening crisis regarding conflicting European attitudes and residential policies regarding the expanding refugee crisis impacts the poorer Mediterranean EU nations inordinately. While North African refugees have entered Europe primarily through Spain and Italy (and mostly Italy), the recent flood of Syrian refugees have entered Europe in overwhelming numbers through the Dodecanesian Greek islands (Lesbos, Kos, Chios and Samos).

 Please join us for a panel discussion of this crisis sponsored by the Center for Hellenic Studies’s Global Studies Initiative partner, the Middle East Studies Center, on Tuesday, September 29, from 3:00pm to 4:30pm in the Troy Moore Library.
