On the next episode of Doc Chat on Thursday, March 11 at 3:30pm, NYPL's Jessica Cline and photographer, publisher, and Pratt Institute Photography Professor Peter Kayafas explore the Library’s Picture Collection, analyzing the concept of subjectivity in the subject headings assigned to images, and discussing how description shapes representation and creates trust in the work of librarians.
Doc Chat is a weekly, 30-minute virtual program series from the New York Public Library that digs deep into the stories behind the Library’s most interesting collections and highlights ways that teachers can incorporate them into the classroom.
