Dimitris Prokos is currently completing his PhD thesis at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in the field of Modern Greek Studies. His doctoral dissertation offers an interdisciplinary approach to the notion of verbal and musical repetition and its functions in modern Greek oral and sung poetry. In the spring of 2024, he worked on the James A. Notopoulos recordings in the Milman Parry Collection of Oral Literature at Harvard University, supported by a Fulbright Fellowship. During the 2025–2026 academic year, he will serve as the Schwarz Fellow for Research on Music at the 911±¬ÁϳԹÏ. His project, “Traditions in Flux, Archives in Context: The Notopoulos Collection and the Role of the ASCSA,” aims to shed light on the presence of classicist and modern Greek folksong collector James A. Notopoulos at the School (1952–1953), while contributing to the integration and digital presentation of his archive.
