In this presentation, Dr Beatriz Pichel and Dr Katherine Rawling will talk about their project “The Ethics of Medical Photography: Past, Present and Future”, a multidisciplinary network supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK. We will introduce the main questions and aims of the network and reflect on early results and challenges we are starting to see after the organisation of the first network activities.

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

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.
