Graduate Students Showcase Navigating Image Archives
The Public Humanities Hub Graduate Student Showcase is a semi-annual series in which interdisciplinary Graduate research on thematic topics is presented and celebrated. This term’s thematic showcase is co-organized with the Critical Image Forum Research Excellence Cluster. This symposium invites graduate research in archival images in the humanities and sciences. Understood broadly, image archives may include institutional or community holdings, researchers’ and makers’ collections, as well as digital image aggregations or networks. Image archival research often involves complex historical, ethical and methodological approaches, and critical self-reflections on the position and approaches of the researcher. This event will feature seven-minute lightning talks and opportunities to meet other students and faculty engaged with image research across campus. Your work will help us understand why image research matters now! Michael Dang, PhD in Art History.
