Tina Campt is Roger S. Berlind ’52 Professor of Humanities at Princeton University.

Campt is the author of four books: Other Germans: Black Germans and the Politics of Race, Gender and Memory in the Third Reich, Image Matters: Archive Photography and the African Diaspora in Europe, Listening to Images, and A Black Gaze: Artists Changing How We See.

Campt has gained recognition for her approach to the history of Afro-Germans, which uses a postcolonial, feminist, and diasporic outlook that combines the methodology of an oral historian with that of an ethnographer.

[4] In Image Matters (2012), Campt investigates the identity of the African Diaspora through photography, specifically focusing on black families in Germany and England in the early- to mid-twentieth century.

Using postcolonial and identity theory as well as an exploration of agency, she exposes intrinsic relationships in readings of photography.
