GREECE

Courses on women's or gender history have been few and non-integrated at the academic curricula.
Examples:
* The research seminar "Gender and History," held for three consecutive years (1997-2000) at the Historical Archives of the University of Athens.
* The post-graduate seminar on "Gender in History", at the Department of Archeology and History, at the University of Crete (1996-7) and at post graduate program Sociology and Political Sciences, at the University of Athens (2000-2001).
* Individual courses in women's and gender history in some university departments, such as the Department of Early Childhood Education, at the University of Athens, the Department of Archeology and History, at the University of Crete, as initiatives of individual scholars and not integrated in the academic curriculum.
