Dr. Alexandra Schultz, a professor of Classics at Dartmouth, joins Lexie to discuss her journey from working at Microsoft to Classics, the role of feminist theory in understanding ancient texts and libraries, insights on the Library of Alexandria, the accessibility of ancient libraries, and what modern libraries can learn from their ancient counterparts.
