SHOT International Scholar Program

Each year the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) selects up
to four International Scholars for a two-year term. International
Scholars receive a regular SHOT membership at no cost during their
appointment and a subscription to the journal Technology and Culture.
International Scholars also receive the highest priority when applying
for travel funding to attend the SHOT annual meeting.

Applicants must reside and work in underrepresented countries --
meaning outside of the U.S. and Western Europe -- at the time of their
selection. The program accepts applications from graduate students up
through senior scholars.

International Scholars shall act as ambassadors for the Society in
their countries and regions, both by informing the Society about the
state and developments of the history of technology in their regions,
and by helping to disseminate information about the Society and its
activities.

At each annual meeting, SHOT will host a special gathering to welcome
current international scholars, introduce them to SHOT officers, and
discuss the intellectual dimensions of the field that pertain to
international research.

To apply to the SHOT International Scholar Program, please send a copy
of your CV and a letter to EACH member of the committee listed below
and to SHOT secretary Amy Bix at shot at iastate.edu. Letters must
include:
* why you would like to be an International Scholar,
* how you plan to advance the mission of the International Scholar
Program (see http://www.historyoftechnology.org/awards/scholars.html),
* the current state of history of technology research in your home
country and your home insitution, and
* how your research will enrich existing knowledge in the field.

The deadline for nominations is April 15.
