David Campbell is Professor of Cultural and Political Geography at Durham Univesrity, Associate Director of the Durham Centre for Advanced Photography Studies (http://www.dur.ac.uk/dcaps/) and Academic Director of the International Boundaries Research Unit. His research is organised around three main areas: visual culture and international politics (photography, new media, and the representation of atrocity, famine and war); US foreign and security policy (new security issues and virtual security strategies); and political theory and global geopolitics (informed by poststructuralist philosophy and concerned with questions identity, borders, representation, and responsibility). The last two areas are best represented by his books Writing Security and National Deconstruction. The latter won International Forum Bosnia's Bosnia-Herzegovina Book of the Year 1999, and was translated and published in Sarajevo in 2003. David’s research in visual culture has resulted in numerous articles and essays, and two notable public events. In April 2005 he presented the Sem Presser Lecture at the World Press Photo Awards in Amsterdam, addressing the question of whether ‘concerned photography’ has a future. In August 2005 ‘Imaging Famine’, a photographic exhibition he co-curated, opened at the Guardian Newsroom in London. Accompanied by a 24-page catalogue, the exhibition is part of an ongoing project on media representations of famine, with information available at http://www.imaging-famine.org/. Currently, David is undertaking a research project for the AIDS, Security and Conflict Initiative (http://asci.ssrc.org/), which examines ‘The Visual Economy of HIV/AIDS as a Security Issue.’ He is also working on book about how the dominant pictorial representations of atrocity, famine and war are produced in the global image economy.
