<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Filmmaker and essayist Errol Morris’ groundbreaking work tackles questions of truth, objectivity, and the role of expert knowledge in modern society. His documentaries
are renowned for their innovative use of interviews and archival material. In his STS talk, “Investigating With a Camera,” Morris will reflect on his experiences researching and producing four of his most celebrated films -
<i>The Thin Blue Line</i>, on a Texas murder case; <i>Mr. Death</i>, on capital punishment and Holocaust denial;
<i>The Fog of War</i>, on Robert McNamara and the Vietnam War; and <i>Standard Operating Procedure</i>, on the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. His new book "Believing is Seeing: Observations on the Mysteries of Photographies" was released by Penguin Press in September.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Errol Morris<span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> has been listed as one of the top ten film directors in the world by
<i>The Guardian</i>. Among his many awards, including five fellowships from the National Endowment of the Arts, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a MacArthur Fellowship, Morris received the 2003 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for “The Fog of War.” His
ninth feature-length documentary film, “Tabloid,” debuted in 2010. He is currently a regular contributor to the opinion pages of the
<i>New York Times </i>through his blog, <i>Zoom</i>, and his first book of essays,
<i>Believing is Seeing</i>, was published in 2011 by Penguin Press. </span></span><u></u><u></u></span></p>
