The Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts (SLSA) is a United States–based academic organization whose members "share an interest in problems of science and representation, and in the cultural and social dimensions of science, technology, and medicine."[1]
The SLSA publishes the journal Configurations, published by Johns Hopkins University Press, and a members' newsletter Decodings.[2] It holds an annual conference that "attracts hundreds of participants from many different disciplines, including the history, sociology, anthropology, rhetoric, and philosophy of science, technology and medicine; literary history and criticism; art history and media studies; the cognitive sciences; and all areas of science, technology, engineering, and medicine" (the 30th being in 2016).[1]
The European Society for Literature, Science and the Arts (SLSAeu) is a sister body.[3]
The Society's own webpage is inconsistent as to whether there is a comma after "Science" in its name.[2]
History
