Stacey McCarroll Boston University Stacey McCarroll’s initial interest in photography developed while she was an undergraduate studying art history and photography at the California State University at Fullerton, where she received her Bachelor’s degree. She went on to complete a Master’s in the History of Art, with a specialty in the history of photography, at the University of California at Riverside. She has also gained professional experience working with photography collections and teaching the history of photography to undergraduate students. Currently, she is working on her Ph.D. dissertation in the history of photography at Boston University. Her project focuses on the circulation of images in twentieth-century American culture and the kinds of problems that can arise when images move from the domestic (or private realm) into the social (or public realm). It is precisely the collapse of the private into the public and of the "real" into the unreal in photography that she explores in her dissertation.
