At August's Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication convention in San Francisco, professor Claude Cookman will present two research papers, stemming from his sabbatical last fall, and serve on one panel.

Aug. 2, he'll present "The Lives of French Women Through the Lens of Janine Niepce," which analyzes the photographic documentation of the lives of French women and argues that for over 50 years, she was the only photojournalist to devote sustained attention to French women and the French women's movement. This paper was rated second among the top three faculty papers in the Visual Communications Division.

Aug. 5, he'll present "Gilles Caron's Coverage of the May 1968 Rebellion," which analyzes photojournalist Gilles Caron's coverage of the May 1968 rebellion in Paris and maintains that Caron produced several images that went beyond daily news photographs to become lasting symbols of the rebellion.

Cookman will serve on the panel, "Then and Now: Forty Years of Visual Communication and AEJMC," Aug. 4.
