Dr. John Papadopoulos, a professor of Classics & Archaeology at UCLA, joins Lexie to discuss his experience studying Classical archaeology as a Greek in Australia, why there isn’t more encouragement to learn the modern languages of the regions of study, and how bringing ancient buildings back to life is essential for future studies.
