Dr Barnaby Haran

Barnaby teaches and researches American visual culture with a specialism in the history of photography. Barnaby has written widely on American documentary photography of the early 1930s, including articles on Paul Strand, Margaret Bourke-White, and the Workers Film and Photo League.

His current monograph explores the intersection of radical politics and campaigns against racial injustice in relation to press photography and political propaganda in the media coverage of the Scottsboro Case. Entitled 'The Scottsboro Case and Photographic Racial Representation in 1930s American Media', the book is due for publication in late 2026 by Routledge, as part of the Routledge History of Photography series.

He is Co-Director of the Cultures of Incarceration Centre.
