This event is part of the 2022-23 Mellon/ACLS Scholars and Society Speaker Series on visual media, justice and human rights. The Mellon/ACLS series features fascinating talks by eight international experts who work across the private and public sector, leveraging work with visual media into various domains. From human rights advocacy to archiving and preservation, the speakers will reflect on their career trajectories and highlight recent research projects. Together, we will discuss how doctoral training in the humanities and social sciences can kindle careers in publicly engaged scholarship within and outside the academy. Learn more →
