Join us for a live webinar roundtable with contributors to the publication Life Magazine and the Power of Photography as they discuss some of the magazine’s most recognizable, beloved, and controversial pictures based on new archival research. These scholars will consider how and why such images—including Alfred Eisenstaedt's VJ Day in Times Square and film stills of JFK's assassination—gained iconic status after first appearing in Life magazine.

Participants include: Sharon Corwin (Terra Foundation), Robert Hariman (Northwestern University), Jason Hill (University of Delaware), John Louis Lucaites (Indiana University emeritus), Paul Roth (Ryerson Image Center), and Catherine Zuromskis (Rochester Institute of Technology).

Moderated by Katherine A. Bussard, the Peter C. Bunnell Curator of Photography.
