John Kaplan, University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Journalism professor, is the first non-Nobel Prize winner to join the distinguished Nobel Laureates Forum Lectureship series held in China’s Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces.

During the series, Kaplan conducted three sole-lectureship presentations entitled “The Power of the Lens.” University presidents introduced Kaplan at each venue, which included simultaneous translation and live streaming to secondary schools throughout rural Western China.

Kaplan teaches photography, design and international journalism at UF and is a frequent lecturer at photography and journalism workshops throughout the world. In 1992, his words and pictures project about the diverse lifestyles of seven 21-year-olds across the U.S. was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.
