Jim Wright arrived in Athens this summer to become its new director for a five-year term starting June 30th. A professor and chair of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology at Bryn Mawr (a spawning ground for many notable ASCSA alumni), Professor Wright has had a long association with the American School. We were able to catch the new Director to ask a few questions just before the new school year.
