George's current researches center on the early photojournalism of Anthony Weston Dimock and his son Julian. His approach, informed by semiotics and cultural studies, seeks to integrate personal family history with the history of photography. In March, 2005 he presented "Judith: A Family History" at the Weatherspoon Art Museum.
Earlier work focused on photographic representations of children and childhood with a particular emphasis on the child-labor photographs of Lewis Hine. In the fall of 2001, he curated an exhibition for the Weatherspoon Art Gallery entitled Childhood Deployed: Pictorialism and Social Documentary in the U.S. (1890-1925).
