Gonda Van Steen
- Koraes Chair of Modern Greek and Byzantine History, Language and Literature, King's College London
I am a professor at King's College London, where I teach in the Classics Department and direct the Centre for Hellenic Studies. I received my PhD in Classics and Hellenic Studies from Princeton University in 1995. I am the author of five books: Venom in Verse: Aristophanes in Modern Greece (2000); Liberating Hellenism from the Ottoman Empire (2010); Theatre of the Condemned: Classical Tragedy on Greek Prison Islands (2011); and Stage of Emergency: Theater and Public Performance under the Greek Military Dictatorship of 1967-1974 (2015). My latest book, Adoption, Memory, and Cold War Greece: Kid pro quo? (University of Michigan Press, 2019), takes the reader into the new, uncharted terrain of Greek adoption stories that become paradigmatic of Cold War politics and history.
