Visualizing Ideology: Labor vs Capital in the Age of Silent Film is the result of a collaborate process between members of the USC History Department and the USC Center for Scholarly Technology (CST). The text was written by Professor Steven J. Ross. Peter LaChapelle and Sharon Sekhon co-authored the Self-Study Exercises along with Steven Ross. The electronic conceptualization, design, and implementation of this text was done by members of the CST project team: Karen Howell, Drew Traglia, Robert Doiel, and Cliff Yee.

Steven J. Ross is Professor of History at USC and author of Working-Class Hollywood: Silent Film and the Shaping of Class in America (Princeton, 1998). Sharon Sekhon and Peter LaChapelle are PhD students in the History department working in American popular culture.
