This Center for the Study of the
American South Hutchins Lecture is by Bruce Jackson and Diane Christian in
conjunction with their photography exhibit on display at the Center this fall. Jackson, SUNY
Distinguished Professor and James Agee Professor of American Culture, and Christian,
SUNY Distinguished Teacher Professor of English, SUNY Buffalo, have worked
together for more than thirty years, documenting and writing about the complex
issues of the American prison system. Their new book,In This Timeless Time: Living and Dying
on Death Row in America, published by UNC Press in association with
the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke, explores the life of death row
inmates in Texas and in other states. Jackson and Christian capture, through
words and pictures, the daily experiences of inmates, while also highlighting
arbitrary judicial processes related to capital punishment. Lecture attendees
are encouraged to visit the exhibition by November 29, as the lecture will
focus on the photographs on display (also collected in a new book of the same
title) and their work together.
