The aim of this paper is to study the reasons for the participation of the 3rd and 4th generation emigrants of the state of Chicago, in Greek traditional dance classes, taking as an example the cultural association “Orpheus Hellenic Folklore Society”. The collection of ethnographic data was based on the ethnographic method, under the terms of an online ethnography or otherwise Netnography. Oral history was also used as a method, through which everyday memory is projected as a quest of social history. Finally, for the presentation and analysis of the data, Geertz's model of "thick description" was adopted. An important parameter in the analysis and interpretation of the data is the concept of "reflection", which also was used in this paper. From the data analysis was found that, the Greek traditional dance has a particularly important role in multicultural nations such as America. More specifically, the findings of this study indicate that cultural heritage and cultural identity remain important, even in immigrant generations who have been born and raised in America and who have moved significantly away from the behavior and action patterns of Greeks. In particular, all the survey informants stated that their participation in Greek traditional dance classes and events has to do with preserving their Greek cultural heritage. In conclusion, it can be said that the Greek traditional dance in the American state of Chicago is experienced as a manifestation of the cultural expression of the Greek heritage, but also a way of understanding ‘Greekness’ in the wider American context.

Marriage is a statute that seeks the reproductive union of the two genders, and the customs that accompany it are performed continuously even to this day. Nevertheless, this is not the case in the community of Pentalofos in Evros prefecture in Greece, where the wedding customs have stopped being celebrated, mainly due to the lack of new people in the community and therefore the lack of weddings. These customs are now experienced in a different way by the members of the cultural association of the community, who represent them outside of their context, in a different time and place. Thus, the aim of this paper is to study the wedding customs in the community of Pantalofos in the Evros region in Greece, treating their representation as a planned performance. The collection of research data was carried out with the ethnographic method, as this applied to the study of dance. For presentation and data analysis Geert’s model of ‘thick description’ was adopted, as in ethnographic method the analysis and interpretation of the data is done simultaneously. Finally, for the interpretation of the research data, the performance theory was used, according to which society can be seen in the light of a dramaturgical perspective, i.e. as a theater, where the performers unconsciously play multiple roles. From the analysis of the data it was found that the revival of marriage customs was a theatrical performance, which included an organizer, two coordinators and many actors. The women of the cultural association have functioned as actors with specific roles and the rituals which they performed was lost a degree of their character, but women experienced the performance of marriage rituals in a different way. For them, the wedding customs were a different experience, in a different reality.

Facilitating effective collaboration with teaching faculty (TF) for the purposes of student success and performance is often a priority for academic librarians (AL). The topic of effective partnerships between these two groups has received a great deal of scholarly attention within the field of library and information science (LIS). However, in practice, harmonious working relationships can be difficult to establish and maintain. This is in part due to the lack of understanding of the role and status of AL by TF. The existing divide between these parties has led to discourse and dismissive actions on the part of TF that may be perceived by some AL as microaggressive. While some work has been done on microaggressions in higher education, little quantitative data exists on status-based microaggressions by TF towards AL and its effect on collaboration in the context of information literacy (IL). In early 2016, the researchers surveyed U.S. and Canadian AL in order to collect data on perceived status-based microaggressive experiences. Analysis of the data indicates that status-based microaggressions, although not ubiquitous, do exist. Moreover, the data indicates that some librarians may experience more frequent instances of status-based microaggressions based on self-reported demographic characteristics.
