Joseph Ho on Missionary Photography in Republican China

Learn about cultural encounters between Americans and China in the early twentieth century, the unique position of American missionaries in early twentieth century China, the history of photography and film-making in China, and how photographs and other visual materials are a rich and unique archival source to do history.

Ho is the co-editor of War and Occupation in China: The Letters of an American Missionary from Hangzhou, 1937-1938.
