Dear All,

In conjunction with the Humanities Center's Visiting Scholars Project, the distinguished art historian Alexander Nemerov will be giving a public lecture this coming Wednesday, September 3 at 4 pm in Hodges' Lindsay Young Auditorium.  The lecture will be public and free to all.  For those of you who are not familiar with Nemerov and his work, he just moved from Yale's art history department to Stanford's, where he holds an endowed chair in the arts and humanities.  His scholarship ranges all over the history of American art, photography, and visual culture, with recent books treating topics as diverse as Raphaelle Peale's still lifes, Civil War-era performances of Macbeth, and the work of George Ault.  On Wednesday, he will be giving a paper entitled "Lewis Hine in the Southeast: Child Labor Photographs, 1908-1912," which will examine Hine's photographs of child laborers in the mines of the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee.

I highly encourage anyone who can to attend.  This truly is not a scholar to miss.

Thanks!
Mary
