Georgios Giannakopoulos

Georgios Giannakopoulos, a lecturer in Modern History at City St. George's, explores his book on British internationalism and empire in Southeastern Europe. He discusses how British intellectuals navigated regional nationalisms, using figures like Arthur Evans to reshape narratives about the area. Georgios dives into the impact of the 1870s, the politics of archaeology, and the role of gender in historical narratives. He also reflects on the legacy of these interpreters and their influence on both wartime policies and postwar discussions.
