Prior to submitting your review on Monday December 21st you will make a short presentation along these lines:
** Your book/essay review presentation should be only about ten minutes. Sharing images is optional. Mostly, you want to tell the class what the title of the text is, who wrote it and when. Followed by a short synopsis of what it is about, and next some of your reflections, criticisms or perhaps questions that the author raises for you and for us about photography and lens-based imaging in relation to social change and political protest. **
