D.G. Kousoulas, Distinguished Scholar, Hellene, and TNH Columnist, 89

BETHESDA, MD – Professor Dimitrios George Kousoulas passed away the morning of July 3 in Bethesda, MD, with his children, George and Claudia, and his grandson Matthew at his side. He was as much a fighter for the causes he believed in as a scholar, and despite the recent worsening of his condition and the pessimism of his doctors, Kousoulas fought bravely to the end, continuing to give encouragement to those around him. He is mourned by colleagues, friends, and family, including a brother in Greece.

Kousoulas’ work spans the second half of the 20th century and continues into the 21st. Born in Greece in 1923, he came to the United States as a Fulbright Scholar in 1951. He had already a law degree (LLB) from the University of Athens, Greece. He earned a master’s and PhD from the Maxwell School of Syracuse University.
