She is a member of the SAGE laboratory (Sociétés, acteurs, gouvernement en Europe), where she conducts research at the intersection of scientific heritage, material cultures, and gender history. Education: PhD in History, European University Institute, Florence (2019) Her research focuses on the history of material cultures in science, health, and nature, particularly examining 19th- and 20th-century scientific and medical collections. She investigates the labor and gender dynamics behind collection-making, with a special focus on microscope slides and human remains. Her current ANR-funded project, 'Bodies of glass', explores the preservation of human remains on histological slides from 1850 to 1990. She also contributes to the environmental history of collections through her involvement with the Collection Ecologies collective and co-organizes a monthly seminar with the Philadelphia CHSTM. The analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong thematic focus on 19th-century French provincial science, particularly in cities like Lyon, Nantes, and Toulouse. Her work examines how municipal museums participated in shaping local identities and scientific authority through collecting, cataloging, and exhibiting natural knowledge. She emphasizes the entanglement of bureaucratic practices with scientific fieldwork and challenges romanticized narratives of exploration by highlighting the administrative dimensions of knowledge production.

Christine Elfman is a Visiting Critic in the Department of Art at Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning. She is also a practicing artist based in Ithaca, New York, with a strong presence in contemporary photography and interdisciplinary art. Her work explores the tension between permanence and ephemerality through experimental photographic processes, particularly anthotypes using plant-based dyes. B.F.A., Cornell University (2004) M.F.A., California College of the Arts (2012) Elfman’s research centers on the materiality of images, the history of photography, and the philosophical implications of visual representation. Her practice combines drawing, collaborative work, and ephemeral art to investigate how memory, time, and change shape our perception. She uses processes like long-exposure solar printing and resin-coated anthotypes to create works that evolve and fade over time, reflecting on the instability of knowledge and recollection. Her recent exhibitions, such as All solid shapes dissolve in light (2022) and dust to dust (2023), demonstrate a consistent thematic focus on decay, transformation, and the liminal space between visibility and disappearance. These works often incorporate natural elements like lichen, sunlight, and rock formations, blurring the boundaries between photography, sculpture, and environmental art. Light Work Grant in Photography (2020) Cape Cod National Seashore Artist Residency (2022) Penumbra Foundation Workspace Residency (2020) Philadelphia Photo Arts Center Award (2017) Saltonstall Foundation Residency (2009) Elfman has taught at Ithaca College, San Francisco Art Institute, California College of the Arts, Bowdoin College, International Center of Photography, and served as Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Wells College. While she mentors students through studio instruction and critiques, no formal graduate advisees are listed. She has not received major external grants beyond residency fellowships, but her artistic contributions are widely recognized in both academic and gallery contexts. Her work is represented by EUQINOM Gallery in San Francisco, and she maintains an active exhibition and publication record in journals such as BOMB , 1000words , and Der Greif . She does not appear to lead a formal lab or research team, but her studio practice functions as a space for material experimentation and conceptual development.

Dr. Ina Heumann is a prominent researcher and academic at the Museum of Natural History Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Research in Berlin, where she has co-directed the Center for the Humanities of Nature since 2012. Her work bridges the humanities and natural sciences, focusing on the historical, political, and colonial dimensions of natural history collections. Her research interests encompass colonial history of natural history, political history of museums, collection economies, and the history of scientific appropriation. Heumann's scholarly approach examines how natural history collections were formed within colonial contexts and how these legacies continue to shape contemporary museum practices. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on decolonizing natural history collections, with particular attention to the Tendaguru dinosaur expedition and its colonial legacy. Her work spans multiple disciplines including history of science, museum studies, postcolonial theory, and material culture studies, demonstrating how natural history objects carry complex historical narratives that require critical examination. Her leadership extends to significant projects including virtual access to fossil material from the German Tendaguru Expedition, research into colonial provenance of human remains, and developing guidelines for handling natural history collections from colonial contexts. These initiatives reflect her commitment to addressing historical injustices while advancing scholarly understanding of collection histories. Heumann has established herself as a leading voice in the critical examination of natural history collections, with numerous publications that have shaped contemporary debates about colonial legacies in museums. Her work represents an important bridge between historical scholarship and practical museum work, offering concrete frameworks for addressing complex collection histories.
