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
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@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.
