Haris Stavrakakis
Haris Stavrakakis is an independent researcher based in Athens. He studied musicology at the University of Athens and started performing as a pianist after acquiring his piano conservatory diploma. He holds an MA in Gender, Society and Politics from Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences. His MA thesis, presented at the 6th conference of the Hellenic Sociological Society in Athens, examines how the expression of same-sex sexual desire in Greek music is interlaced with the local national narrative, producing new forms of sexuality and nationhood. His interests include music subcultures, queer and feminist politics and theory, sexual and cultural difference, and the intersection between gender and nation in the Greek context.
