Event Information
Description:	Professor David Campbell, Durham University presents: `After Kyoto: the Regulatory Problems of Carbon Trading` ABOUT THE SPEAKER David Campbell is Professor of Cultural and Political Geography, and part of the Durham Centre for Advanced Photography Studies(http://www.dur.ac.uk/dcaps/) Professor Campbell`s academic research deals with visual culture and international politics (photography, multimedia, and the representation of atrocity, famine and war); US foreign and security policy; and political theory and global geopolitics. The last two areas are best represented by his books `Writing Security` and `National Deconstruction`, the latter of which won International Forum Bosnia`s Bosnia-Herzegovina Book of the Year 1999, and was translated and published in Sarajevo in 2003. Professor Campbell’s research in visual culture has resulted in a number of published articles and essays, as well as two notable public events. In April 2005 he presented the Sem Presser Lecture at the World Press Photo Awards in Amsterdam, addressing the question of whether ‘concerned photography’ has a future. In August 2005 “Imaging Famine,” a photographic exhibition for which he was one of the curators, opened at the Guardian Newsroom in London. Accompanied by a 24 page catalogue, the exhibition is part of an on-going project on media representations of famine, with information available at http://www.imaging-famine.org/. In 2007-08 Professor Campbell undertook a research project for the AIDS, Security and Conflict Initiative which examined `The Visual Economy of HIV/AIDS as a Security Issue` -- see http://www.visual-hivaids.org/. He is currently working on book that is concerned with how the dominant pictorial representations of atrocity, famine and war are produced in the global image economy. Full details and many downloads of Professor Campbell`s work can be seen at his personal web site (http://www.david-campbell.org/) - All welcome, no RSVP required - Further information available at:
