I had the pleasure of hiring Michael to teach over twenty years, and student reviews were always excellent.

Decolonise How? | What does a crisis look like? The ethics of humanitarian imagery

Our collective visual vocabulary of crisis is neither accidental nor neutral. It has been shaped by decades of coverage, often from a narrow, Western lens – a lens that has taught audiences what suffering is supposed to look like. That vocabulary now distorts our understanding of crises and undermines the dignity and agency of those living through them.
