    "Black and White: Eudora Welty and Photography"

    This panel extends the conference theme to include not just race, but also
    black and white photography and issues of race and image in Eudora Welty's
    own photographic career. Welty has said that she approaches both
    photography and writing as perceptions of the world, where "one habit of
    observation shade[s] into the other" (Photographs xv). Studies may approach
    the topic broadly, from her work for the WPA "before self-consciousness had
    come into the relationship" (Photographs xxvi) to images and tropes about
    photography in such short stories as "Kin," "A Memory," and "Going to Naples."
