TOUR LECTURERS
William Tramposch
Bill Tramposch graduated (Phi Beta Kappa) from Cal with a degree in English and American literature and went on to receive a Doctorate in the History of Higher Education from the College of William and Mary. He was appointed Visiting Fellow, Oxford University, and recently served as Senior Fellow for the American Alliance of Museums.
Throughout his career, Tramposch has served in museum and heritage leadership positions both in the United States and New Zealand, and has a particular interest in both literary history and in the question of what historic environments say about matters of national identity.
Our travels through the Greek Isles, on to Troy and beyond, naturally invoke the works of Homer and the enduring, universal influence of Greek mythology. As we visit richly historic sites and sail the same waters as Ulysses and Achilles, Tramposch will focus his lectures on why the works of Homer matter as much to us today as they did in ancient times.
