Colleagues interested in scholarly studies of engineers and engineering,

We are writing to ask your help in building interdisciplinary engineering
studies as an international field of scholarly research by joining the
International Network for Engineering Studies (INES) and contributing
manuscripts to its new journal Engineering Studies: Journal of the
International Network for Engineering Studies.

INES was born in Paris, France in 2004.  The founding co-coordinators are
Maria Paula Diogo (History, U Lisbon, Portugal), Gary Downey (STS and
Engineering Education, Virginia Tech) and Chyuan-Yuan Wu (Sociology and STS,
National Tsing Hua U, Taiwan). INES supports workshops and the journal, as
well as the sharing of bibliographies and syllabi (the latter beginning Fall
2009, see http://www.inesweb.org/ for details).

The publisher Routledge/Taylor & Francis offers INES members the amazingly
low subscription rate of US $46, their cost.  INES membership, including the
subscription, is US $56.  The extra US $10 is for bank and web costs, and to
subsidize members who qualify for the discounted rate of US $46 (students,
retired persons, residents of non-OECD countries).  The standard individual
rate is US $190 US / £ 98 / € 152.

Please go to the INES site now and join!  (http://www.inesweb.org/join).
[Note: if you are willing to sponsor a member for one year at the discounted
rate or are in need of such sponsorship, contact Crystal Harrell at
crcrigge at vt.edu.  She is serving as matchmaker.]

Please also contact your library representative personally and ask him/her
to purchase a library subscription.  The rate is reasonable.  A library
recommendation form is available at:
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/library.asp (We recommend a phone call given
that libraries are currently making difficult choices.)

Finally, please consider submitting a manuscript.  See below for aims and
scope.  For complete submission guidelines, see
www.tandf.co.uk/journals/engineeringstudies<http://seewww.tandf.co.uk/journals/engineeringstudies>
.

The editors are Gary Downey (Virginia Tech) and Juan Lucena (Colorado School
of Mines).  They are supported by Jen Schneider (Colorado School of Mines)
as Managing Editor, Brent Jesiek (Purdue) as Web Editor, and Kacey Beddoes
(Virginia Tech) as Assistant Editor, as well as 12 Associate Editors and 30
Editorial Board members (see below for names and affiliations).

Best,
Gary Downey, Maria Paula Diogo, and Chyuan-Yuan Wu

*Aims and Scope
*

Engineering Studies is an interdisciplinary, international journal devoted
to the scholarly study of engineers and engineering.  Its mission is
threefold: (1) to advance research in historical, social, cultural,
political, philosophical, rhetorical, and organizational studies of
engineers and engineering; (2) to help build and serve diverse communities
of researchers interested in engineering studies; and (3) to link scholarly
work in engineering studies to broader discussions and debates about
engineering education, research, practice, policy, and representation.
Engineering Studies is published three times yearly by Routledge, an imprint
of the Taylor & Francis Group, beginning in 2009.

*Vision Statement*

The field of engineering studies is a diverse, interdisciplinary arena of
scholarly research built around the question:  What are the relationships
among the technical and the nontechnical dimensions of engineering
practices, and how do these relationships change over time and from place to
place?  Addressing and responding to this question can sometimes involve
researchers as critical participants in the practices they study, including,
for example, engineering formation, engineering work, engineering design,
equality and diversity in engineering (gender, racial, ethnic, class,
geopolitical), and engineering service to society.

Engineering Studies juxtaposes contributions from distinct disciplinary and
analytical perspectives to encourage authors and readers to look beyond
familiar theoretical, topical, temporal, and geographical boundaries for
insight and guidance.  The diversity in the editorial staff and board is
designed to map the diversity in the field and support its persistence.
While prospective authors are invited to reflect on and anticipate how their
work might prove helpful to others elsewhere, both within the academy and
beyond, they can also feel comfortable imagining familiar audiences and
producing familiar modes of analysis and interpretation.  The heterogeneity
of perspectives in engineering studies is its lifeblood, and the goal is
high quality scholarship in every case.
