Speakers

WPC is excited to invite and sponsor speakers--probably virtually--during the 2020-2021 academic year. Events are open to the public, but WPC may restrict some to club members only due to size and type of conversation. Club members will select, contact, and listen to speakers.

If you would like WPC to consider a specific speaker, let us know here.

WPC Sponsored Speakers

WPC has not sponsored speakers in recent history. The club is looking to invite 1-2 photography-related speakers, curators, or scholars for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Speakers under consideration are affiliated with:

  1. museums having significant photography features (Pittsburgh, Houston, and Chicago)

  2. museums having staff photography conservationists (Williamstown Conservation Center)

  3. local, Berkshire-area based photography exhibitions including those by Nicholas Whitman, long-time teacher of a Williams College Winter Study course
