Postdoc research: "Didactics of Visual Culture: Visual Culture in the Greek secondary education"
Supervisor: Professor Yannis Skarpelos
Athena Exarchou studied law in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and art history at Goldsmiths College, London. She completed her Master’s degree in art history in Leiden University in the Netherlands, and her PhD on the didactics of art history at the Athens School of Fine Arts. She is currently working on her postdoctoral research on the didactics of visual culture under the supervision of professor Giannis Skarpelos.
Her PhD thesis focused on methods of teaching art history and visual culture in the Greek secondary education. In this context, she developed didactic models and lesson plans for the third class of lyceum. In the recent past she was the editor of the accompanying text to the archive of 20th century theatre programs at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation. She is also interested in solo board games for adults: both in their aesthetic and cultural qualities, and in their entertainment value.
