Saunders Director, Middlebury College Museum of Art, and Professor of History of Art and Architecture, Middlebury College “Making Sense of Our Selfie Nation” Today, the trend of analyzing selfie culture is almost as widespread as the medium itself. (As the popularity of the “selfie” has continued to rise in the new millennium, so has the determination to analyze the trend.) In “Making Sense of Our Selfie Nation”, Dr. Saunders offers his own take on the subject. Tracing the evolution of photography, as well as the changing concepts of self and our individual place in the world, Dr. Saunders narrates a history which does not halt in the current decade, but will continue to evolve in our future, just as it has in our past.
