Kate Sampsell-Willmann, author of "Lewis Hine, Ellis Island, and Pragmatism:
Photographs as Lived Experience," Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive
Era, Vol. 7, No 2 (April 2008) and Lewis Hine As Social Critic (University
Press of Mississippi, 2009), leads an open forum on how to interpret Hine's
photographs of child laborers taken between 1908 and 1912 for the National
Child Labor Committee. Since Hine continued to photograph throughout the
1930s, we hope that scholars of later periods will also join this
discussion.

We invite you to weigh in with suggestions about using these photographs —
and others — both in teaching and in research. Simply go to
