In conversation with Koerner, panelists Annie Bourneuf (School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Shira Brisman (University of Pennsylvania), and Christophe Koné (Williams College) will respond to Koerner's book while engaging in a larger conversation about the role of images and art history during periods of political unease and turmoil.
