Professor Emeritus John O’Brian has published two books that stem from his ongoing research and curatorial work regarding the engagement of photography with the atomic era. The Bomb in the Wilderness: Photography and the Nuclear Era in Canada was released by UBC Press in October and Through Post-Atomic Eyes, co-edited with Claudette Lauzon, came out from McGill-Queen’s University Press in September.
Professor O’Brian was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2020 Universities Art Association of Canada conference in Vancouver this October. The award was given in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the profession through leadership, creation, education, curatorial projects, service, and publication.
