The Woman's Eye: Women in Photography Symposium and Exhibition 

The exhibition and symposium was a project I conceived and for which I served as project director. Working collaboratively with Loraine Jensen, Monica Dunlap, and Carole McCabe, we developed an exhibition and symposium exploring the contributions of women to the history and art of photography. Loraine Jensen wrote the grant proposals and secured funding from the Nebraska Committee for the Humanities and the University of Nebraska.

The symposium featured lectures, films, workshops, and a performance of Freshwater, Virginia Woolf's play about her great-aunt, the pioneering photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. The exhibition included a juried selection of photographs by Nebraska women photographers alongside historical photographs by women from the Sheldon Museum of Art. 

At the time, it was the first exhibition and symposium of its kind in Nebraska.
