Society for the History of Technology
Final Call for Papers
Annual Meeting: October 4-7, 2001, San Jose, CA.
The Society for the History of Technology will hold its annual meeting in
San Jose, CA, October 4-7, 2001. The program committee welcomes proposals
for individual papers or complete sessions on topics related to all facets
of the history of technology.
In particular, the committee will welcome non-US and/or pre-1800 topics,
works-in-progress from researchers of all stripes (including graduate
students, chaired professors, and independent scholars), and papers from
those new to SHOT who believe that an engagement with history can help
their own work, regardless of discipline. Because the 2000 meeting took
place outside the U.S., those who presented at SHOT-Munich are eligible to
give a paper at San Jose.
Proposals for individual papers must include:
1.A one-page abstract, and
2.A one-page curriculum vitae, including current postal and e mail
addresses.
Proposals for complete sessions must include:
1.A description of the sessions theme. The session description should
clarify how individual papers contribute to the sessions overall
theme.;
2.A list of the presenters names and paper titles;
3.A one-page abstract and one-page c.v. for each of the presenters (with
postal and e mail addresses);
4.A one-page c.v. for the commentator, chair, and session organizer (if
s/he is not one of the sessions panelists).
Applicants may chose either one of these submission methods:
1.Traditional paper application: send four (4) paper copies of the complete
proposal bearing a post-mark (or equivalent indication of submission date)
by Friday March 23, 2001 to John K. Brown at the address listed below.
2.Electronic application: by the same date, send one single e mail message
to the e-mail address listed below, with electronic copies of all elements
of the complete proposal as attachments, formatted in Microsoft Word (any
version of Word is fine, but the proposal must be in Word). Whether
submitting an individual paper or a complete panel, the program committee
needs to receive a separate attachment for each item (vita, paper, and so
on); the file names for all attachment should end in .doc (for example:
hounshellvita.doc)
The choice of submission method will not affect the program committees
selection process in any way. Once the program is fixed, the committee
hopes to have made arrangements to make the accepted abstracts available on
the World Wide Web (details pending and to be announced).
Apologies for cross-postings.
