Professor George Dimock's current researches center on the early photojournalism of Anthony Weston Dimock [1842-1918] and his son Julian [1873-1945]. His approach, informed by semiotics and cultural studies, seeks to integrate personal family history with the history of photography. In February, 2007 he presented Photography Across the Color Line in the Jim Crow South: The Early Photojournalism of Anthony and Julian Dimock at the National Association of African American Studies in Baton Rouge, LA. Earlier work focused on photographic representations of children and childhood with a particular emphasis on the child-labor photographs of Lewis Hine. In the fall of 2001, he curated an exhibition for the Weatherspoon Art Gallery entitled Childhood Deployed: Pictorialism and Social Documentary in the U.S. (1890-1925).
