P3D New York Stereoscopic Society Meeting

[Greg Dinkins <dinkins@xxxxxxxx>]

Tomorrow's meeting of The New York Stereoscopic Society (our fifth!) will be
something special. In the intellectual home of Margaret Mead, Ian
Tattersall, Franz Boas, et al., you can hear and see in 3D

"Representing the Other: Stereographs as Popular Ethnography"

Marilyn Morton will present an illustrated lecture based on her studies of
ethnocentricity in stereoviews. Her 3D slide show is part of an ongoing
project to define the impact of stereoviews in media history. She was
recently awarded a PhD from Emory University for her dissertation "The
Social Stereoscope: Issues in American Cultural History." An active stereo
photographer herself, Dr. Morton is co-founder of the Atlanta Stereographic
Association, and an officer in the International Stereoscopic Union. She
currently teaches at the Atlanta College of Art.

After her talk there will be some announcements, then our usual informal
show-and-tell when members share there own work in viewers or on bulletin
boards around the room.
