Edith Doron is a seasoned museum professional devoted to producing magnetic events, immersive exhibitions, and educational environments. Working as the Cultural Programs Specialist at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum (1996-2002) shaped her earliest experiences in public engagement and critical pedagogy. She produced unprecedented program suites designed with communities across the city in a deeply collaborative, co-creative process. Her signature approach to blurring the boundaries between stage and spectator shaped her capacity to do the same at the strategic level with museums and communities, helping to shape institutional change and secure relevance.

In 2005, after serving as the Director of Programs at the Long Island Children’s Museum, Edith went on to write her MLitt (Of Things and Thresholds: hospitality, exilic education, and the practice of community) and PhD (Education and the Idea of Emancipation: from the monster of philosophy to the political subject and back) with the Center for Modern Thought at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. In 2015, she was selected for a Melon/ACLS Public Fellowship with the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. Working with the Andy Warhol Museum and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, she launched Carnegie Nexus, a multi-museum program platform to produce Strange Times – Earth in the Age of the Human and Becoming Migrant – What Moves You? Building partnerships with research centers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Nexus changed the way the museums worked and the way people perceived their museums. It hosted both local heroes and internationally acclaimed artists in every medium, including Forced Entertainment, Agrupación Señor Serrano, Fatoumata Diawara, Jad Abumrad, Mark Dion, Annie Proulx, and Slavoj Žižek.

Edith has now returned to her first love, the medical humanities, and is very excited to begin a podcast series with the European Graduate School based on her “COVID MA,” called Beauvoir’s Menopause. Her full manuscript, Bioportals to Becoming Woman – fertility, feminism, and the body hysteric, is slated to be completed by summer 2026.
