HASE

The Hellenic Association for the Study of English (HASE) was founded in 1990 in Thessaloniki. It welcomes membership from scholars (Professors, Lecturers, graduate students, private scholars, teachers of English) who are involved with English studies in a wide range of areas, from literatures in English, comparative literature, critical and cultural theory, film and media studies and theoretical and applied linguistics. One of its main aims is to establish contacts, both personal and electronic, with scholars working in these areas in other European countries, linking us, in other words, to the other 30 national associations that comprise ESSE (The European Society for the Study of English). Another aim is to maintain current and establish new links among scholars in English studies within Greece itself. Since its inauguration, HASE has held regular conferences, alternating between Athens and Thessaloniki. Members of HASE automatically become members of ESSE, entitling them to:

Automatic registration in the electronic and regular mailing list for all latest news on conferences, publications and other matters of academic and professional interest
Reduced participation fee for conferences and events
Free participation in the (semi-)annual seminars directed towards people working in public education and in the private sector
A bi-annual copy of The Messenger, the journal of ESSE
Eligibility for the annual Book Award (monograph)
Eligibility for the graduate student Bursary, which Greek graduate students have repeatedly won in the past, as well as the researcher bursaries for all other categories
Networking with and among other colleagues, professionals in English Studies, and equivalent European scholars or institutions
