Teacher Professional Development | Gilder Lehrman Institute | A Photographic History of the United States

This seminar examines the role photography has had in shaping political, cultural, and social change, from the invention of the medium to the present day. Photography as a technology and as a means for propaganda and artistic expression has had a profound impact on over 150 years of American history. We will explore that impact on the US in wartime, reform movements, race relations, and the development and evolution of the national soul. The Museum's Head of Curatorial, Stephen Fagin, presents a session on Tuesday, July 28 and Wednesday, July 29.
