Dr W.C. Versteeg (Wilco)

I'm a teacher and program director at Radboud Honours Academy, specifically on the project City Deal. This project aims to create collaborations of students of higher and vocational education.

My research aims to understand notions of truth and reliable in photographic discourses, specifically focussing on war- and conflictphotography. In my phd, defended at the University of Paris, I researched if and how documentary photography can still in today's skeptical world. Has the age of documentary photography ended, or is their still a future for these forms of visual journalism?

I publish on photography and visual culture in Aperture, Rekto Verso, Extra, Trigger, Streven, Katholiek Nieuwsblad, and other media, and regularly lecture on these and other topics. I am involved with projects on living with Alzheimer's, and as a photographer I follow political protest (notably in France). For words and images, see: www.wilcoversteeg.com
