In their second collaboration, Andrew Jackson and Savannah Dodd discuss the impact of the prioritisation of the white, male gaze, both for photojournalism and broader society. This article follows on from their previous co-authored article "‘Good’ photographs: The white male gaze and how we privilege ways of seeing.”
This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, we moved the symposium online. Instead of one all-day event, we hosted a mini-series of events. We heard from Smita Sharma, Laura Saunders, Melissa Bunni Elian, Martha Tadesse, Jennie Ricketts, and John Edwin Mason.
These sessions were organised by the Photography Ethics Centre, and moderated by Savannah Dodd. This event was supported by the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Howard G. Buffett Fund for Women Journalists.
