Ms Marilena Anastasopoulou

College Lecturer in History

I am a College Lecturer in History at Pembroke College, an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and a Research Associate at the South East European Studies at Oxford (SEESOX). Knowing Pembroke College’s dedication to its students’ progress and excellence, I am passionate about high-quality teaching and undertaking pastoral duties. I am teaching Modern European and Global History both at an undergraduate and graduate level. My doctoral research is a comparative – intergenerational and interregional – history of the 1922-24 memories and identities of forced displacement that examines the multilayered relationship between contemporary attitudes and refugee past. This study has won the Best Doctoral Paper Award for Turkey and Greece in the Annual World Convention for the Association for the Study of Nationalities (ASN) at Columbia University. My publications focus on issues of political discourse, right-wing extremism, migration policy implementation, forced displacement, diaspora philanthropy, memory, and identity. Before joining Pembroke, I completed my DPhil (History, University of Oxford), MSc (Migration Studies, University of Oxford), and BA (Political Science and Public Administration, University of Athens). I have also worked as a researcher at the Centre of Asia Minor Studies, at the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR), at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), and at the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
