The School of Art, Art History & Design is pleased to welcome Bonna Wescoat to Nebraska on November 8th.
Wescoat is the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Art History at Emory University. She holds a Ph.D. and Master of Philosophy from Oxford University, a Master of Arts from the University of London, and Bachelor of Arts from Smith College.
Her research interests are ancient Greek art and architecture, particularly sacred architecture, and digital modeling to investigate the interaction of landscape, architecture and ritual experience.
In addition to her monograph, “The Temple of Athena at Assos,” she has recently completed “Samothrace vol. 9, Monuments of the Eastern Hill.” Her work now centers on the Sanctuary of the Great Gods on Samothrace, where she has directed excavations.
