Graduate of Harvard College with a degree in Biology and the Whitney Independent Study Program, member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, and published writer/curator, Harris lectures widely on the use of media as a tool for social change with a keen recognition for its potential to organize social movements and impact the biological body. He currently holds a position at Yale University as a Senior Lecturer in African American and Film & Media Studies, where he is teaching courses titled “Family Narratives/Cultural Shifts” and “Archive Aesthetics and Community Storytelling”. He is also working on a new television show, Family Pictures USA, which takes a radical look at neighborhoods and cities of the United States through the lens of family photographs, collaborative performances, and personal testimony sourced from their communities. Family Pictures USA uses methodologies Harris and his team developed with Digital Diaspora Family Reunion, LLC (DDFR), a socially engaged transmedia project that has incorporated community organizing, performance, virtual gathering spaces, and storytelling into over 60 unique audio-visual events in over 50 cities. Harris will talk about his trajectory as a media artist that led to DDFR and his documentary film work, including Through A Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People, his 2015 film that was developed in tandem with DDFR. Through A Lens Darkly features leading Black cultural figures, scholars, and photographers sharing their archives with Harris in an exploration of the ways photography has been used as a tool of representation and self-representation in history, garnering an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Documentary film, the Fund for Santa Barbara Social Justice Award, and an Africa Movie Academy Award, among others. In conversation with MIT Professor Vivek Bald, Harris will reveal his process, experiences, and unexpected outcomes working with communities in online and offline shared spaces and places. Immediately following a Q&A, participants will be invited to share images that represent their conceptions of family and engage in a collaborative workshop highlighting the impact of new technologies in community archiving practices.

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with Jessica Taylor, founder and president of Legacy Tree Genealogists. Jessica is part of a group of genealogical businesses that is sponsoring a contest at RootsTech this year that could score you some amazing family history products. (Yes, including DNA kits!) Then, David Allen Lambert , Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org, shares some “family histoire news.” He tells two tales from the ashes… literally. First is the story of a British woman who has admitted having a certain taste for her mother’s ashes. (You won’t believe it!) Then, another woman has been caring for the ashes of a woman who died in the 1990s. She’s hoping to locate next of kin before she retires soon. Perhaps you can help. Then, Paul Woodbury, DNA specialist at Legacy Tree Genealogists, joins the show again to talk about the significance of tracking down various cousins. He’ll explain the value as you delve into your dna project.  It’s something of a 202 course, so listen carefully. Fisher then visits with Thomas Allen Harris, director and host of an upcoming PBS program called Family Pictures USA. He may have a place for your family pix and stories! Tom Perry, the Preservation Authority, then returns to answer another listener question. He also explains how he has obtained some of the amazing antique recording and playback devices he uses to help people digitize and preserve their audio. That’s all this week on Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show!
