Dr. Christopher Celenza, Dean of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and professor of Classics and History at Johns Hopkins University, joins Lexie to discuss how he got to study and conduct research in the Vatican library, how to successfully cross and mix disciplinary boundaries, the process of surviving 2 PhD programs at the same time, and break down what Renaissance studies are beyond the Medicis.
