Victor Carrabino

Course Leader Bio

I am Professor Emeritus of The Florida State University, where I taught throughout my academic career.  I earned my PhD in French from the University of Massachusetts Five-College-PhD-Program in Amherst, MA.   While teaching French language and literature, I was also invited to teach humanities courses.  However, my complete dedication to the study of humanities started when I was appointed Resident Director of the Florida State University Study Abroad Program in Florence, Italy, my native country.   During twenty years of residency in Florence, my study of humanities was nourished and strengthened by the rich artistic surrounding that Florence offers.   Besides teaching at my institution, in Florence, I also taught humanities courses for Pepperdine University and New York University.  My publications are indicative of my interest in finding the golden thread that runs through any artistic expression.
