Assistant dean and professor in archaeology and art history at the Institute for American Universities and the American College of the Mediterranean in Aix-en-Provence, France, Guillaume has traveled many times in Iran during these six past years in order to study the Persian Empires.

This conversation is suitable for all ages.
90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
Guillaume delivered his usual high standard seminar. So interesting to learn lots about the background to someone most of us have heard of. (even if only via Bram Stoker and Christopher Lee)
This was a great presentation on the history and myths of Dracula. Dr. Durand displayed a real depth of knowledge about the topic and presented the material in an engaging, entertaining manner. The slides were well designed, and the photos really added to the presentation. Top notch presentation all around.

Such interesting history!!!
Learned some interesting information about Dracula I had not known before. Having visited there several years ago, it was nice to revisit this part of the world again.
