Dear SIG:CIS,
I have recently started a teaching role and have the opportunity to develop taught content from scratch. I want to include a significant influence from history of computing, history of technology, and STS—topics, approaches, methods. I’m looking
for recommendations of books and other works to help in this: either for inclusion on reading lists, or to help me prepare more effective material. For example, I would be very grateful for a comprehensive and accessible book on the history of a particular
technology, or a monograph on diversifying curricula. No suggestions are too obvious. Even if I already know them, others on-list may not.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Dr. Troy Kaighin Astarte (they/them)
Lecturer, Computer Science
Swansea University
