Dawna Schuld

I am submitting my name as a candidate for SLSA Second Vice President because I am invested in the future success of this organization, which provides an unusually collegial and supportive space for interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research, including my own. This position would formalize a commitment to SLSA that I have made already as one of the co-organizers for the SLSA 2027 conference and as a contributing member of the growing Arts sector of SLSA. In keeping with the shared ethos of this organization, my scholarship examines areas where contemporary art, technology, and biology intersect, with an emphasis on the varied and even contradictory roles played by art and artists within institutions of research and commerce.
