NYU Visual Culture Working Group
From The New Everyday
The NYU Visual Culture Working Group is an informal collective of faculty and graduate students working in the areas covered by, or intersecting with, visual culture studies. The Working Group meets several times a semester over lunch to share work-in-progress, discuss current events and plan larger-scale events, such as conferences.
In its current form, the Working Group is the result of an NYU Humanities Initiative grant for 2008-09, chaired by Nicholas Mirzoeff and Marita Sturken. The membership is drawn from visual culture faculty and students both at NYU and other NYC area institutions. In past versions, the Working Group has been funded by a Humanities Initiative grant on "Violence, Visual Culture and Globalization" (chairs: Allen Feldman and Nicholas Mirzoeff) in 2005-06, as well as the NYU-Cooper Union Visual Culture Workshop (chairs: Maren Stange and Nicholas Mirzoeff).
