Learn about images that throughout history that have informed us, entertained us, and informed our thinking. View photos made by Margaret Bourke-White, Sabastiao Salgado, W. Eugene Smith, William Henry Jackson, Edward Sherrif Curtis, the photographers from the F.S.A. and others to explore how their photographs brought about social and even economic change. Expect homework assignments and projects to make your photographs stand out with relevance. Wayne State University Professor Marilyn Zimmerman leads this special six-week class. Learn about Lewis Hines Photographs or Jacob Riiss images that brought about social change leading to the elimination of slums in 1800s New York City or the establishment of Child Labor Laws through the power of photography.
