The 2023 Warren G. Harding Symposium, July 14-15

Through the Photographer’s Lens: Exploring the United States Presidency
The Warren G. Harding Symposium is an academic, social, and cultural exploration of the life and times of America's 29th president. The Symposium presents in-depth analysis and research by authors, historians, researchers and experts on the Harding Era and related areas of interest.  The theme of the 2023 Warren G. Harding Symposium is Through the Photographer’s Lens: Exploring the United States Presidency. The event will explore the unique history of presidential photography in our country. 

The event will explore presidential photography from someone who had an insider’s view of two Presidents of the United States from different political parties. The featured presenter will be Pete Souza, former Chief Official White House Photographer for President Barack Obama and former Official White House Photographer for President Ronald Reagan. Souza has spent more time in the Oval Office than almost any person in history. During the Obama administration alone, he was inside the presidential bubble for more than 25,000 hours and made nearly two million photographs. The result is an unprecedented and historic view of how our democracy really works.

If you have questions, please contact us at 740-725-6340 or by email at iams.18@osu.edu or somerlot.30@osu.edu. The Warren G. Harding Symposium is a collaboration between The Ohio State University at Marion, the Harding Presidential Sites and the Ohio History Connection.

Support Psych 4554.S & ENGL 4569 students at the Marion Tall Grass Trail

Please consider joining us on Monday, May 1, 11 a.m. at the Marion Tall Grass Trail to celebrate the work of Nikole Patson's Psych 4554.S students and Ben Mccorkle's ENGL 4569 students. This semester, students in the Patson's language development course used  their knowledge of literacy and language development to work with our community partner, Let's Read 20, to build a community of readers in Marion county. One of their projects was to create a story book walk along  the Marion Tall Grass Trail. The students chose a bilingual book, so that the story would be accessible to both English and Spanish-speaking trail visitors. They also created some small interactive elements to make the story come alive. In addition, students in Ben McCorkle's Literacy Narrative course collected literacy narratives from Psych 4554.S students and those will be included on the display. The students have worked really hard on this display and are excited to unveil it! If you can't make it out, be sure to stop by the trail to see the display—it should be up through early summer.
