Mayterm Abroad: Documentary Photography Storytelling
Dublin, Ireland
This program is active, running in Spring 2025.
This course with UT journalism professor Donna De Cesare, offers a rare opportunity for advanced, intermediate, and beginning students of photographic storytelling to learn how visual journalists approach working on foreign still photographic assignments. Our photography will focus on answering the question: What does it mean to be Irish in the 21st Century? Students work on this assignment in small teams, by photographing stories of Irish people (including immigrants and refugees) who are protagonists in contemporary social justice stories of identity and culture; economic and political rights; and efforts to address the climate challenges the Irish face today. Skills developed will include research, concept, and interviewing as well as camera-led reporting in communities and on the streets of Dublin. The ethical considerations that concern photojournalists and documentarians will inform our work... We will meet during the spring semester to establish our cohort and form our teams as we learn about Irish culture and history, view work by contemporary Irish photographers and prepare to work as visual “foreign correspondents.
