JMGS Editor-in-Chief Artemis Leontis to attend Greek State's Ministry of Culture Literary Award Ceremony on behalf of the MGSA on the occasion of the "Honorary Distinction" bestowed to the JMGS for its longstanding contribution to Greek culture.
MGSA exec. director
It is very fitting that our current Editor-in-Chief, Artemis Leontis, will be the one to receive this honor on behalf of the MGSA. Professor Leontis is a highly experienced editor having served as Editor of Arts & Humanities for the JMGS from 2013-2016 and reelected until 2019. Before that, she served for many years on the Editorial Board, and as Associate Editor. In 2024, she assumed the position of Editor-in Chief of the JMGS, a position that she holds down to the present. Under her leadership, the JMGS has enhanced its offerings and gone from strength to strength. Her service to the profession and particularly to the MGSA is significant as she has continuously served since 1994 as either a member or chair of almost every MGSA committee.
Professor Leontis is one of a long line of internationally recognized scholars who have held this position over the years and who, in collaboration with the associate editors and book review editors, have upheld the consistently high editorial standards of this "magnificent scholarly journal" (Choice Magazine).
Congratulations to all the current editorial team and to past editors—some of whom, regretfully, are no longer with us.The journal, now entering its 44th year of publication, is issued biannually. It is multidisciplinary and covers anthropology, ethnomusicology, history, art history, literary and cultural studies, media and film studies, political science, and sociology. It publishes articles, research notes, and book reviews. It promotes the integration of Modern Greek Studies into broader comparative frameworks. The journal publishes occasional Special Sections devoted to a particular topic, such as "Women and Men in Greece: A Society in Transition" in its first issue (May 1983) and "Unacknowledged Labor: The Work and Lives of Greek American Women" in a very recent issue (October 2025). Submitted articles undergo a double-blind peer review process. The audience is academics, specialists in Greek studies, and other readers well-versed in the field.
The current Editor-in-Chief is Artemis Leontis, one of the internationally recognized scholars who have held this position over the years and who, in collaboration with the associate editors and book review editors, have upheld the consistently high editorial standards of the journal.
Το Journal of Modern Greek Studies (JMGS), επίσημο επιστημονικό περιοδικό της Modern Greek Studies Association (Εταιρεία Νεοελληνικών Σπουδών, MGSA), συνιστά μία από τις πλέον έγκριτες διεπιστημονικές εκδόσεις στον χώρο των Νεοελληνικών Σπουδών. Εκδίδεται από την Johns Hopkins University Press και επικεντρώνεται στη μελέτη της Ελλάδας, της Κύπρου και της ελληνικής διασποράς, από την ύστερη βυζαντινή περίοδο έως σήμερα.
Το περιοδικό εισέρχεται στο 44ο έτος κυκλοφορίας του και εκδίδεται σε εξαμηνιαία βάση. Καλύπτει τομείς όπως ανθρωπολογία, ιστορία, ιστορία της τέχνης, κοινωνιολογία, λογοτεχνικές και πολιτισμικές σπουδές, σπουδές μέσων ενημέρωσης και κινηματογράφου και πολιτικές επιστήμες. Δημοσιεύει άρθρα, ερευνητικές σημειώσεις και βιβλιοκριτικές, προάγοντας παράλληλα την ένταξη των Νεοελληνικών Σπουδών σε ευρύτερα συγκριτικά πλαίσια. Το περιοδικό περιστασιακά δημοσιεύει Ειδικές Ενότητες αφιερωμένες σε ένα θέμα, όπως «Γυναίκες και Άνδρες στην Ελλάδα: Μια Κοινωνία σε Μετάβαση» στο πρώτο τεύχος του (Μάιος 1983) και «Αφανής Μόχθος: Το Έργο και οι Ζωές των Ελληνοαμερικανίδων» σε ένα πρόσφατο τεύχος (Οκτώβριος 2025). Τα άρθρα που κατατίθενται, υποβάλλονται σε διαδικασία διπλής-τυφλής αξιολόγησης από ομότιμους καθηγητές. Το περιοδικό απευθύνεται σε ερευνητές, ακαδημαϊκούς, ειδικούς και γνώστες του πεδίου.
Η νυν Διευθύντρια Σύνταξης είναι η Άρτεμις Λεοντή, μία εκ των διεθνώς αναγνωρισμένων ειδικών που έχουν αναλάβει, στη διάρκεια των ετών, τη συγκεκριμένη θέση. Σε συνεργασία με τους αναπληρωτές επιμελητές και τους επιμελητές βιβλιοκριτικών, συμβάλλει στη διασφάλιση της σταθερά υψηλής ποιότητας της επιστημονικής επιμέλειας των δημοσιεύσεων.
