The Seeger Center launched a Wintersession Institute program at the Princeton Athens Center last January with two workshops for graduate students. Princeton’s Curator of Numismatics Alan Stahl led a numismatics workshop. András Kraft, a fellow at the Einstein Center Chronoi in Berlin, and Panagiotis Theodoropoulos, who works at the Library of the Church of Greece, taught “The Monarchic Paradigm.”
