Alexandra Perchanidou is a historian and researcher whose work focuses on 20th-century Greek history. She graduated from the School of History and Archaeology of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2016, specializing in History. In 2019, she completed her postgraduate studies with Honors at the International Hellenic University, earning an MA in Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Studies.
Her master’s thesis examined the Greek populations living in the region of Kars during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and how the events in the Caucasus led to their forced migration to Batumi and, later, to their final settlement in Greece. Her research highlights the experiences of the Greek community of Kars as part of the broader, often overlooked history of the Caucasus Greeks, their displacement due to war, and their eventual integration into the Greek state.
Until 2024, she served as a research fellow at the Society for Macedonian Studies. Her work there focused on the study of Greek diaspora communities across Europe and included archival research, data extraction and indexing, translation of foreign archival material, and the digitization of the Society’s archives.
In 2022, she contributed to the research and publication of The Greek Revolution in Macedonia through the Foreign Press for the Society for Macedonian Studies. The same year, she contributed to the collective volume 1922–2022: 100 Years Since the Asia Minor Catastrophe. The Tragic Uprooting of the Christian Populations of the East. The Routes of Salvation to Greece, published by the Centre for the Study and Preservation of Asia Minor Heritage, featuring her research on the Pontic Greek city of Kerasounta.
