Life Lines: Art, Memory, and Relationship

In this talk, Joshua Roth will discuss his recently published graphic memoir about his father, who was stationed in Nurenberg during the American occupation of Germany in 1946 and in the Gaganah in 1948, and later became a visual artist. The graphic memoir explores the question of how these early experiences may have informed his later creative work. 

Joshua Roth is Professor of Anthropology at Mount Holyoke College. His research has focused on Japan-Japanese Brazilian migration, the history of driving, and, most recently focused on graphic narratives of aging and caregiving.
