Office Hours Air: 1. Alexander Nemerov

The Stanford Daily Podcast

In this wide-ranging conversation, Alexander Nemerov discusses his life and work with Stanford senior Noah Sveiven. Topics include the art history professor’s two most recent books – The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s and Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York – along with Nemerov’s relationship with his parents, some recollections from childhood, and reflections on university life.

Office Hours Air is a new Stanford Daily podcast and radio program. The show, created and hosted by Noah Sveiven, features guests in conversation about their work and the experiences in their life that drew them to that work. Sveiven hopes the program will be of interest to other undergraduates discerning their callings, as well as anyone else wanting to try out new ways of thinking. Sveiven also envisions the show as a way to archive the experiences and perspectives of his guests. Office Hours Air is produced weekly and available online on all major podcast platforms.
