Georgia Giannakopoulou is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Deree-The American College of Greece, specializing in classical sociology and the Frankfurt School. She teaches courses at the ACG Sociology Department and the International Honors Program, where she also serves as the coordinator of Honors Thesis II. Her research interests focus on Nietzsche, the critiques of modern urban historiographies, and the sociological study of architecture. She holds the David Frisby Athens archive and has edited three books on David Frisby’s social theory. She has translated works by Pyotr Kropotkin, Noam Chomsky, and David Frisby. With a great part of her research further underlining modern, post-19th-century Athens as an exemplary instance of capitalist metropolitan modernity, she has designed and taught a number of courses such as “Strolling Incognito in Athens: The Art of City Walkabouts,” “Monument – Mirage: Sociological Explorations of Collective Forgetting,” and “The Sociology of Modern Athens.”
