DESCRIPTION:This talk will reconsider the contradictory contributions of Ja
 cob Riis’s use of photography in his mission of urban reform.  It draws 
 upon this scholar’s earlier quite critical research and seeks to balance
  that largely negative perspective with more positive assessments by other
  scholars of Riis’s pioneering work and legacy in using photography to e
 xpose the enormous inequities in a social system driven by the profit moti
 ve.  It finally asks if Riis’s method of expose journalism constituted t
 he most effective means of shining light on grave social problems?  If not
 \, what might be alternative methods?\nThis lecture is partially sponsored
  by the  Visiting Possessor/Lecture Scholars Series (VPLSS)  which is fund
 ed by a grant to the Provost Office from the State of Michigan's King-Chav
 ez-Parks Initiative. Additional support provided by the  Isle Royale and K
 eweenaw Parks Association and the Department of Humanities.
