Description
This course will introduce students to the historical elements that have contributed to the development of photography into both a creative medium as well as an agent of social change in support of equity and justice. Beginning with the technologies and processes that predated the invention of the modern camera, students will learn about the many technological and social evolutions that have changed the ways in which we collectively capture and view the photographic image. With an emphasis placed upon the role that photography has played in creating a more unified global perspective rooted in local movements, this course will draw directly upon the history and resources found throughout Northeastern Ohio.
