History and Theory of Photography (online, 19 Nov 21)
online / RUTGERS UNIVERSITY, Nov 19, 2021 Julian Wong-Nelson
Please join us for the Developing Room’s Fifth Annual Graduate Student Colloquium on the Histo- ry and Theory of Photography.
This event will feature presentations by four Ph.D. candidates who are working on dissertation top- ics in which photography—its histories and theories—plays a central role. Each presenter will give a 25-minute presentation on a chapter or a section from their dissertation, along with an account of how that chapter/section fits within their larger project, followed by 25 minutes of discussion.
The Developing Room invites a large audience of faculty and students in order to ensure a rich conversation and to build a constituency from which papers can be drawn in subsequent years. In the past, our event has brought together an international group of researchers working across a wide range of topics related to photography.
The respondent will be Monica Bravo, Assistant Professor of Art History at University of Southern California.
