Deborah Dash Moore will discuss her latest book, Walkers in the City. Drawing on the experiences of, and photographs by, a generation of young Jewish photographers who belonged to the New York Photo League, she offers a new perspective on New York as seen through their eyes―a cityscape of working-class people and democratizing public transit. With their cameras, they pictured Gotham's abrasive social milieu.

Deborah Dash Moore is the former director of the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies and a Frederick G.L. Huetwell Professor of History and Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is the author of at least 15 books on Jewish culture in the United States. In recent years she has been teaching and studying documentary photography. She has also engaged in a number of major editorial projects, including the three-volume award winning City of Promises (2012 NYU Press).
