Josh Ellenbogen, a graduate of the Carleton Class of 1992 and a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, will deliver a lecture on Francis Galton’s photographic work on Monday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. in the Boliou Hall Auditorium on the Carleton College campus. In his talk, entitled “The Monstrous, the Meaningless, and Margins of Error,” Ellenbogen will discuss Galton’s adventurous endeavor to capture marginal populations through the photographic medium, and how his projects contributed to a new standard that emerged in the 19th century to redefine what comprised a scientifically adequate photograph. This event is free and open to the public.
