An important historical essay by Hye-ri Oh (PhD 2013,) “Translating Photography: The Migration of the Conception of ‘Sajin’ from Portraiture to Photography,” is scheduled for publication in the field journal History of Photography, volume 39, issue 4 (November 2015). Doctoral candidate Rotem Rozental’s critical essay, “Under Dor Guez’s Bed: Scenes from the ‘Christian Palestinian Archive’,” has been accepted for publication in the British journal Photographies in 2016. And a long interview by Yang Lijun with doctoral candidate Dengyan Zhou, “Photography, History and Art History: An Interview with Zhou Dengyan, A Doctoral Candidate in Art History at Binghamton University” [“Sheying, Lishi, Yishushi: zhuanfang Binghanmudun daxue yishushi xi zaidu boshisheng Zhou Dengyan”], is to be published in Chinese Photographers [Zhongguo sheying jia] in October, 2015.
All these publications will appear in leading scholarly journals in the field over the next few months.
