Professor Walsh behind a laptop screen

Professor Lauren Walsh  I’m co-editor of The Future of Text and Image (2012) as well as The Millennium Villages Project (forthcoming 2016), a new book that uses photography to explore economic development in parts impoverished Africa. I’ve published in The Los Angeles Review of Books, Photography and CultureThe Romanic Review, and Nomadikon, among others, and have contributed articles to numerous anthologies in addition to my appearances on CNN, the radio program “Trading Fours,” and as an expert on photography in the documentary 9/11: Ten Years Later  (2011). My research concentrates on questions of historical memory and visual media, and I’m interested in the politics and ethics of photography. I focus particularly on photojournalism, with a specialty in conflict photography. My book-in-progress is called Conversations on Conflict Photography and Public Apathy. And last but certainly not least, I like candy, coffee, travel, and rhinos.
