Masters of Liberal Arts
University of South Florida, 1998
Aristoula Mandelos received her BA in Interdisciplinary Classics and MLA in Humanities from USF. She has traveled extensively to Europe throughout her life and has studied abroad. Her Master’s Thesis, ‘The Virgin’s Bare Breast: Sacred or Erotic?’, examined the image of the female breast through an investigation of past practices, social and religious interpretations, and visual and literary representations—emphasis was placed on the sacred images of the nursing Madonna and the eventual erotic portrayals of the breast as seen in the Renaissance. While working on her MLA, she began teaching for USF’s Department of Humanities & American Studies and has continued to teach at USF as well as at the community college level. She has taught HUM 1020: The Arts and HUM 2243 Studies in Culture: The Renaissance through the 20th Century at USF, and Western Humanities I: Ancient through Renaissance and Western Humanities II: Baroque through Present at the community college level. She became the Undergraduate Advisor for USF’s Department of Humanities & American Studies in the fall of 2005.
