Scholar and multimedia producer David Campbell will speak on "From Robert Capa to the iPhone: How the Photojournalism of War Has (and Has Not) Changed," at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 2, at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center A201. The talk is free and open to the public.

The talk is part of the IU Institute for Advanced Study’s Branigan Lectures. Campbell will address what does and does not count as legitimate reportage in an age when The New York Times and others publish photography produced on iPhones and edited with smartphone apps. He’ll draw on the work of Capa to discuss war photography and the photojournalism of conflict.

Campbell is a former professor of Cultural and Political Geography at the Department of Geography, Durham University, U.K., and was a professor of political science at Johns Hopkins University. He was associate director of the Durham Center for Advanced Photographic Studies and served also as director for the Newcastle Institute for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities. He is author of several books and more than 50 book chapters and essays. He has also produced exhibitions and multimedia projects.
