The Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters celebrated and announced the newly nominated class of Academy Fellows at a special public event on March 23rd. This inaugural announcement event is a complement to the Fellows Induction Gala in Fall 2026. This extraordinary evening will feature a distinguished panel of Fellows — John Gurda, Richard J. Davidson, Katherine Cramer, and Karen Ann Hoffman—each sharing a singular perspective from history, neuroscience, political science, and the arts. The conversation will be moderated by Steve Paulson, also an Academy Fellow.
This discussion explored a variety of diverse perspectives on what it means to “find home,” using the lenses of the sciences, arts, and letters. We will consider the sense of belonging and peace associated with creating a home, as well as what it has meant and continues to mean to call Wisconsin home. Through this conversation, the Academy aims to foster a deeper understanding of commonalities and differences, bringing people together in resonant and lasting ways.
This event is part of the Finding Home series, a statewide initiative of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters that invites people across Wisconsin to explore what it means to find home. Public lectures, art exhibitions, workshops, magazine features, and local events bring people together to create shared understanding and common ground.
