Candidates: SLSA 2025 Election

Standing for: Member-at-Large

• • Katherine Buse
  • Name: Katherine Buse
  • Candidate Statement:
    

    I think of SLSA as my interdisciplinary academic home—no other organization brings together such a vibrant range of humanistic and aesthetic approaches to science, technology, and the nonhuman world. My work intersects digital media, technoscience, science fiction, and the environment, from asking how climate scientists draw on the rhetorics and aesthetics of speculative world building to how video game form is participating in the development of new AI applications. These subjects have afforded me the chance to be part of many conversations at SLSA, from environmental media to games. I want to give back to SLSA as a Member-at-Large: representing and advocating for our diverse membership, supporting graduate students and independent scholars, and encouraging continued interdisciplinary exchange across thematic and methodological divides like the natural and the digital or art practice and textual analysis.

    I was first introduced to SLSA as a graduate student nearly fifteen years ago. Since that moment, as a feminist science studies scholar of reproduction, disability, and health, SLSA has been my academic home—the place I go for mentoring, inspiration, and community. In this spirit, I am committed to continuing to think about how SLSA can be a welcoming space for all. In these complicated times for the humanities, arts, and sciences, I see SLSA as a vital space for important dialogue, collaboration, and support. I have previously served as a graduate student representative and would be honored to give back to the organization as member-at-large.

  • Candidate Statement:
    

    I am interested in connections between arts and science and literature and science and have taught courses on these connections. I have carried out research on poetry and science, specifically on Wordsworth and Darwin, at the University of Cambridge and Lancaster University in the U.K. I have presented on poetry and science at meetings of the British Society for Literature and Science and SLSA. I would love to serve as SLSA member-at-large to help find ways to support SLSA members and promote studies on science, literature and the arts.
