In early 2016, I visited The Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, University College London for two months, as a guest of Birkbeck’s History of Art Department. It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know scholars working in this department, such as Profs. Lynda Nead, Patrizia di Bello, and Steve Edwards. I helped organize and participated in a workshop co-sponsored by the Humanities Center and the Theory of Photography Research Centre, titled Law and Photography: Mugshots, Passports, and Portraiture, July 16, 2016. I also conducted research for the Tichborne project and gave talks on the filmmaker Humphrey Jennings’s Pandemonium project.
