SLSA is unique in its commitment to cross-disciplinary collaboration. As a Member-at-Large, I hope to contribute to efforts to grow those ties; both among existing members as well as between SLSA and potential newcomers. My home discipline service commitments are all organized around connection: building digital and event strategy to connect membership with mentorship, to highlight emerging work of organization members, and to keep members linked across and beyond annual meetings. In service as an SLSA Member-at-Large, I’m eager to develop more strategies for fostering belonging for SLSA members, with special attention to how we might welcome even more members from underrepresented fields. As a graduate student and now faculty member, SLSA has helped me envision my place in expansive, interdisciplinary collaboration. As this organization has increasingly become my professional home, I hope to support the same sense of belonging to even more of our members through service to SLSA.
