In the summer, Candace serves as a guest lecturer for the specialized cruise company Voyages to Antiquity. She has also traveled as a Smithsonian Speaker on Celebrity Cruises.
Candace is also an archaeologist. “I have excavated at several sites including Classe (the Roman Imperial fleet harbor outside of Ravenna), a Neolithic site in the Transylvanian region of Romania, and with Princeton University’s Euchaita/Avkat project in north-central Turkey.”
She believes Art History courses can benefit students in any major. “They train you to recognize and understand thousands of years of art and symbolism that still influence the visual landscape we encounter every day. As an undergraduate professor of mine used to say, the real reason to learn is not to get a job or launch a career, but to make our minds an interesting place to live for the rest of our lives. Art History does that.”
