*** EVENT POSTPONED DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES**

Join us for a seminar and reception renowned images historian and visual anthropologist Elizabeth Edwards. 

Professor Edwards' interests include the impact the existence of photography has had – and continues to have – on historical inquiry and how we perceive ourselves, both individually and culturally.
