Sasha Bergstrom-Katz
Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow (Jan 2024-Aug 2024)
Sasha Bergstrom-Katz is a Berlin-based artist, researcher and writer. Her interdisciplinary, practice-based projects focus on technologies, objects and concepts from the histories of human and medical sciences. She is currently a Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow in the Practices of Validation in the Biomedical Sciences Research Group at the MPIWG. Her 2023 PhD thesis entitled On Intelligence Tests: Psychological Objects and Their Subjects makes an aesthetic enquiry into the material cultures and history of intelligence testing in the United States. Her current research extends this project to investigate the ways in which intelligence testing can be understood as “performing” science.
Bergstrom-Katz holds a PhD in Psychosocial Studies from Birkbeck, University of London and an MFA in Fine Art from the University of California, Irvine. She is currently co-editing a special issue of the History of Human Sciences entitled The Material Force of Categories with Tomas Percival and is also co-editor of the forthcoming volume Art & Psychotherapy alongside Dr. Sarah Marks and Dr. Suzanne Hudson. In 2022, she was an Artistic Fellow at BS-Projects, Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig, Germany.
