DESCRIPTION:This talk will reconsider the contradictory contributions of Ja
 cob Riis’s use of photography in his mission of urban reform.  It draws upo
 n this scholar’s earlier quite critical research and seeks to balance that 
 largely negative perspective with more positive assessments by other schola
 rs of Riis’s pioneering work and legacy in using photography to expose the 
 enormous inequities in a social system driven by the profit motive.  It fin
 ally asks if Riis’s method of expose journalism constituted the most effect
 ive means of shining light on grave social problems?  If not\, what might b
 e alternative methods?\nThis lecture is partially sponsored by the  Visitin
 g Possessor/Lecture Scholars Series (VPLSS)  which is funded by a grant to 
 the Provost Office from the State of Michigan's King-Chavez-Parks Initiativ
 e. Additional support provided by the  Isle Royale and Keweenaw Parks Assoc
 iation and the Department of Humanities.
