Our Chair, Professor Kevin Featherstone (pictured here with his wife), recently visited St James's Palace to collect his OBE from Princess Anne. Kevin's OBE was awarded in the King's Birthday Honours list 2025, for his services to academia and UK Greek relations. Many congratulations!

Last night, renowned author Sofka Zinovieff joined us for an ‘in conversation’ with John Kittmer. In an entertaining and insightful discussion, she talked about her novel, ‘Stealing Dad’. in front of an appreciative audience. Many thanks to Sofka and John, and to KCL for its hospitality.

Our next event will be at Kings College London on Wednesday 19th November. Acclaimed author Sofka Zinovieff will discuss her latest book, Stealing Dad, fictional but based on her family's experience when her father died.
