News & Events
Please join us on December 6 to hear two presentations that utilize interdisciplinary methodologies, combining art historical inquiry with conservation-based data analysis. Bryanna Knotts and Cynthia Yue’s presentation "Spheres of Influence: Material Affinities in the Photographs of Lola Álvarez Bravo, Tina Modotti, and Edward Weston" examines photographs that engaged with Mexico’s communities and contributed to its reimagination of national identity and belonging.
Please join us for a Photography Network with Dr. Alise Tifantale talk that examines photography’s community-building potential in a divided world. In July 1963, Taiwan-based photographer Chin-San Long (Lang Jingshan, 1892–1995) opened his solo exhibition in São Paulo, Brazil, organized by the city’s most well-known photo club Foto Cine Clube Bandeirante
After the overwhelming success of our previous Photography Network Meet & Greet event, we are thrilled to announce another one because of popular demand.
Join us on June 14 to learn the tips and tricks for perfecting your zoom interview. The event will begin with a presentation by Boston University’s Director for PhD Resource Sasha Goldman who specializes in career planning and professional development for PhD students and postdocs. We will then hear from Rebecca Senf, Chief Curator at the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, and Peter Wang, Assistant Professor of Art History and Visual Studies at the University of Kentucky, to hear about their recent experiences serving on a hiring committee for a museum job and interviewing for an academic track position. The workshop hopes to demystify some of the interview and job application process. Be sure to come with questions!
Starting June 10th the PN Writing Group will be meeting on Mondays from 12-2pm EST bi-weekly.
To join the writing group or to learn more, please email the Emerging Scholars Liaison Maura E. McCreight. You will receive an email with the Zoom link before the first session.
