Joseph Ho

Episode 7

Our Friday lunch speaker this week was Joseph Ho, a historian at the University of Michigan who specializes in the history of Christianity in Asia. Joseph studies history using old photographs and films, and he brought with him to the Center a vintage camera from the mid-twentieth century—the same type that was used to take the famous photograph of U.S. marines raising the American flag at Iwo Jima in 1945. Students enjoyed hearing Joseph’s journey into academia.
