Molly W. Steenson

I’m the President and CEO of the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis, a nearly hundred year-old museum, mansion, and cultural center in Minneapolis that explores migration, identity, and belonging, and enduring cultural ties to Sweden. I’m also Honorary Consul for Sweden for Minnesota and the upper Midwest.

I am a tenured Associate Professor (on leave) at Carnegie Mellon University in the School of Design and was the inaugural K&L Gates Associate Professor of Ethics & Computational Technologies. Previously, I was CMU’s Vice Provost for Faculty and Senior Associate Dean for Research in the College of Fine Arts. I hold a PhD in Architecture from Princeton University and a Master’s in Environmental Design from the Yale School of Architecture.
