Kostis Karpozilos earned his doctoral degree from the Department of History and Archaeology, University of Crete in 2010. His thesis focused on revolutionary diasporas in the United States and the trajectory of Greek-American radicalism in the 20th century. He is the scriptwriter of the documentary Greek-American Radicals: the Untold Story (2013) and the author of a book on the Cretan socialist intellectual Stavros Kallergis (Benaki Museum, 2013). He was (2012-2014) a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University (Stavros Niarchos Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program) and he has taught at the University of the Peloponnese, at Sciences Po and at Columbia University. His current research engages with the role of political imagination in times of crisis and the contingencies of the transition from the 1967-1974 military dictatorship to the establishment of the Third Greek Republic in June 1975
