As Greece emerges from its debt crisis and assumes greater leadership in the region, Stavros Niarchos Foundation fellow Steven Tagle is exploring how the geopolitics, history, and culture of Greek border zones shape the story of the nation and the future of the Eastern Mediterranean, Balkans, and Europe. Steven previously served as the speechwriter for U.S. Embassy Athens and has worked for Greek organizations like the Stavros Niarchos Foundation-funded "New Agriculture for a New Generation" program, Anatolia College, and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. He was the recipient of an Asian American Writers' Workshop Margins Fellowship, a Fulbright Fellowship to Greece, and a Soros Fellowship for New Americans. Originally from Yorba Linda, California, he is a graduate of Stanford University and the University of Massachusetts MFA for Poets and Writers.
