LIFE Magazine’s Photojournalism and the American Century
The Princeton University Art Museum presents: LIFE Magazine’s Photojournalism and the American Century
Join us for a live webinar roundtable with Princeton faculty members Jeremy Adelman (History), Thomas Y. Levin (German), and Katherine Hill Reischl (Slavic) and the prize-winning documentary photographer Susan Meiselas as they discuss how Life used photographs in its weekly publication, from 1936 to 1972, as a way to establish its view of the world as a first draft of history.
Consider, for example, coverage of the liberation of Nazi concentration camps at the end of World War II: what did it mean for Life to publish six pages full of detailed, horrible photographs in the midst of a weekly issue dedicated to “The German People”? Another ready example is a story Life undertook at the behest of the Kennedy administration to try to curtail the global spread of Communism in the face of poverty.
Was Life merely playing the imperialist, or are such global exchanges the basis of something more lasting?

This roundtable is held in conjunction with the exhibition LIFE Magazine and the Power of Photography and made possible in part by support from the Humanities Council’s David A. Gardner ’69 Magic Project, Princeton University. Moderated by Katherine A. Bussard, the Peter C. Bunnell Curator of Photography.

Princeton Alumni Angels Inaugural Virtual Pitch Event
Join for Princeton Alumni Angels'
Inaugural Virtual Pitch Event
Thursday, April 23rd @ 6:30pm EDT
RSVP HERE NOW
Princeton Alumni Angels (PAA) is proud to roll out our inaugural virtual pitch event on April 23! You'll be able to engage with exciting startups where ever you are and we can all maintain required physical distancing protocols.
Once again, PAA received more than 100 applications! More than 60 alumni volunteer screeners from both coasts -- and points in-between -- played a role in the review process.
Moving to a virtual format allows us to respond to one of the most consistent bits of feedback -- PAA doesn't offer enough companies to the opportunity to pitch.
So we selected 12 high-potential companies and, in addition to our April 23rd event, we will hold pitch events on May 20th and June 18th. Each pitch event will feature four exciting and innovative startups and each event will have a unique theme to ensure we have a great breadth of strong companies.
Like other pitch nights, these events will be limited to accredited investors.
We encourage all Princetonians with an interest in entrepreneurship and innovation to join for the virtual pitch event, where ever you reside!
Register NOW for the April 23 virtual pitch event. More details are on the Eventbrite registration page.
RSVP HERE NOW and take advantage of special early bird pricing of $30 through Sunday April 19th. The full price is $40.

April 2020 Propeller
PA3 INVITES YOU TO “SECOND TUESDAYS”
A PRINCETON PROPELLER EVENT
ONLINE
FOR ENTREPRENEURS,
NAVIGATORS & THE CURIOUS
Please Join Us for Cocktails & Hors d’oeuvres
Wherever You Are
Speaker: Andrew Voros, CEO, PrevenTive Conservation, LLC
Topic: Photocatalysis & Pandemics: Bringing to Light a New Approach
Photocatalytic oxidation is a light-driven process that dismantles organic molecules on treated surfaces. These include human respiratory hazards caused by combustion and those of biologic origin. While standard treatments of chlorine, peroxides and ammonia kill coronavirus on surfaces, the disinfection lasts only until the next person contaminates it. The CDC has recently determined that an optimized oxidizing agent effective on MRSA and other iatrogenic diseases is also effective on COVID-19. Andrew will discuss these technologies, the science behind them, and the stabilized chlorine dioxide application that his company is making commercially available in the next 30–90 days.
In keeping with pandemic-generated distancing protocols, PA3 and Quadrangle Club are pleased to bring you our first “online Propeller.” So, fasten your intellectual seat belts, pour a libation and toast to loved ones & learning --- even in the midst of perplexity.
This video will be posted online as soon as available. To ensure that you receive notice of that posting, please register here. For information about Propellers generally, please visit propellers.princetonaaa.org.
