Students will learn to understand and explain differences between shareholder and stakeholder frameworks of capitalism and what that means for organizations using the triple bottom line of people, planet, profit to communicate about their organization’s performance and reputation.

How does photographic rhetoric shape who we imagine ourselves to be as citizens? In what ways has photography historically been used to intervene in public debate? How does the contemporary public engage photography today? Specific topics include war, civil rights, labor, documentary, environment, portraiture, trauma/violence, and politics. We will also discuss the changing nature of photography in the digital age (e.g., cell phone photography and social media).
