Vasilis Georgakis

Ph.D. candidate
Panteion University
He was born in 1990 and grew up in Athens, where he began his studies (which he never concluded) at the Department of Civil Infrastructure Works of the former TEI of Athens. He probably didn't feel very comfortable with either, and left the capital and the construction sites for Ioannina and the Department of History and Archaeology where he also completed his Master's Degree. For the last two years he has been a PhD candidate at Panteion University. His doctoral thesis examines anti-Venizelism, placing it in the context of the general rejection of liberalism and bourgeois modernization by the popular strata in the Western world. Among other things, he has worked at the Institute for Mediterranean Studies on the research project “Moral economy. Issues of morality in public discourse on purchase and profit, Greece from the late 19th to the first half of the 20th century” under the supervision of researcher Nikos Potamianos.
