The series launches Tuesday, Oct. 24, <\/strong>with Matthew, who will give a talk on fine art and photography. Matthew\u2019s activism, which takes a historical angle in her photography\u2019s depiction of marginalized communities, does not exist exclusively in her work behind the camera. For five years Matthews was the Director of the Center for Humanities, and also worked closely with the Center for Nonviolence and Peace Studies.
