Documenting War explores the genres, rhetoric, and real effects of wartime documentation and postwar reflection, as carried out by journalists, soldiers, civilians, and artists. The seminar will bring together academics,  journalists and military personnel  for lively conversations in which prejudices can be exposed and new resources  for understanding can be tested.

The Sawyer Seminar is directed by Professors Carol Burke and Cécile Whiting and is supported by a generous  grant from the Mellon Foundation.  On-campus  partners  include Asian American Studies, the Southeast Asian Archive, and Illuminations.
