Asch featured in Bryn Mawr’s Alumnae Bulletin

The August 2008 edition of the Alumnae Bulletin includes an article about Asch’s move to Bryn Mawr College. The article mentions current projects like the speaker series, and visiting scholar Muhammed Fani’s book-in-progress on the emergence of religious radicalism in Pakistan. Our plans for the future include bringing postdoctoral fellows with recent experience in conflict […]

Published by the University of Texas Press the book features 100 of Hyman's photographs and six critical essays that depict and discuss the emotional aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks -- a time when people from all walks of life created and encountered memorials to those who were murdered. Vernacular art appeared almost everywhere—on walls, trees, playgrounds, vehicles, houses, tombstones, and even on bodies. This outpouring of grief and other acts of remembrance impelled photographer Jonathan Hyman to document and preserve these largely impermanent, spontaneous expressions. This book, a unique archive of 9/11 public memory, is the result of his compiling a collection of 20,000 photographs, along with field notes and personal interviews. For more information about the book or to purchase it, visit the book's page at Amazon or Facebook.
