Classics and Careers: Helena Lee, Features Director at Harper's Bazaar

In Episode 1 of 'The Classics Podcast Does...Careers', Katrina chats to Helena Lee, Features Director at monthly fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar, and they discuss learning how to develop and defend an argument, becoming a writer and an advocate, and who would be the cover star of an ancient edition of Harper's Bazaar!

Helena studied Classics at university (with no previous knowledge of ancient languages) and she is now the author of East Side Voices, as well as a Visiting Lecturer at City University.

In this series, we meet guests from all walks of life, fascinating people with a connection to classics who lead fascinating lives and we discuss where studying the past can take you; what classicists bring to the workplace (and the world!); how to forge your own path; and the resonance of the ⁠#ancientworld⁠.
