Marguerite Perret conducts arts-based research through a social issue engaged studio practice that examines the promise, complications and sometimes contradictory narratives inherent at the interstices of art, science, healthcare and personal experience. She has collaborated with artists and researchers internationally with projects sited in Europe, South America and throughout the U.S.
Perret is a full professor of art at Washburn University where she teaches foundation design, digital imaging and contemporary art theory as well as cross disciplinary, special topic courses blending art, science and ecology, such as Endless Forms: Darwin’s Legacies, an upper division graduate level course examining the influence of the theory of Natural Selection in the arts and humanities.
