Dear SHOT SIG (and other) leaders,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;">As part of SHOT’s efforts in anti-racism and internationalization, we are launching an endeavor to update the “Doing HoT” portion of our website to reflect 21st century concerns, programs, and scholarship.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;">We begin with two arms of this endeavor:</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
</div>
<blockquote class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
<div class="">
<div class="">
<div class="">1. An anti-racist syllabus project. We are looking to collect and consolidate syllabi in the history of technology that (a) address race, racism and/or racial & ethnic diversity in a substantive way, and/or (b) give a prominent place to the work
of BIPOC scholars. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">
<div class=""><span class="">2. Update SHOT’s <a href="https://www.historyoftechnology.org/doing-history-of-technology/departments-and-programs-of-study/" class="">list of “Departments and Programs of Study”</a> to better capture the non-US scene (and of course
revise any errors members may spot in the current listings).</span></div>
</div>
</div>

<div class="">
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;">We solicit your input, and that of your members, on both these fronts. I gather that some SIGs have syllabus projects underway, so for those responding to the syllabus solicitation may be straightforward. For
others it may be more involved. We appreciate whatever time you and your members can devote to this request!</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;">Hopefully #2 is easier - just involves looking at the current list, and letting us know what we should add. Obviously people will notice different omissions, so don’t try to be exhaustive! Just let us know the
ones that immediately spring out to you & your members. </div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><font face="Avenir-Book" class="">Since SIGs function in a variety of different ways, we leave it to you to sort out the details. Feel free to simply forward this email to your members, if that’s easiest. Obviously this project will always be
a work in progress. Nevertheless, </font><b style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">an initial response</b><b class=""><font face="Avenir-Book" class=""> by Monday 19 April,</font></b><b style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class=""> with at least some contributions,
would be hugely appreciated</b><font face="Avenir-Book" class="">. </font></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;">We have the great good fortune of being assisted in this task by Kevin Chen (see below for a brief bio). If you simply reply to this email, the response will go to him. In addition to the syllabi and program suggestions,
he’ll collect any questions you may have. Once there’s a critical mass of these, we’ll respond with another overview email. </div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;">Thank you so very much for your help with this!</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;">Cheers,</div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;">Kevin Chen is currently a first-year law student at Yale. He worked with me full time for two years (2018-20) on a community-engaged teaching and research project on “Racial Justice in the Nuclear Age,” and he’s
still serving as the part-time project manager for that endeavor. His undergraduate degree is in anthropology, from Columbia. During his time at Stanford, he plunged into the worlds of environmental justice scholarship and STS. So beyond his overall fabulousness,
efficiency, and perspicacity, he is well-prepared for this work!</div>
