ICHS USF

The Interdisciplinary Center for Hellenic Studies (ICHS) at USF is dedicated to supporting academic work on topics related to Greek culture, history and thought. The Center aims at creating opportunities for fruitful dialogue and collaborations by bringing together faculty members from a variety of fields. The Center also holds an annual conference featuring refereed papers as well as invited lectures.

The ICHS is located in the Department of Philosophy at the University of South Florida. It is sponsored by the USF Department of Philosophy and by the American Foundation for Greek Language and Culture (AFGLC).

From the AFGLC website:

"AFGLC is dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of Greek culture and language in the curriculum of institutions of higher learning in the Americas, even as its parent organization, IFGLC, pursues the same goals worldwide. To this end AFGLC aims at establishing Interdisciplinary Centers of Hellenic Studies (ICHS) at selected universities throughout the United States and elsewhere. (...) The Interdisciplinary Center for Hellenic Studies (ICHS) is the means by which AFGLC carries out its mission to present Hellenic language and culture to the American university student.”
