[Sci-tech-public] HSSST visiting graduate student from Sweden needs help with housing

[Debbie Meinbresse]

>We will continue our student exchange with the KTH (History of Technology) 
>program at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm by having 
>Isabelle Dussauge as a visiting HSSST graduate student during the fall 
>2004 term. Since January 2002, Isabelle has been a Ph.D. student in the 
>Department of History of Science and Technology at KTH in Stockholm.  She 
>previously received an M.Sc. in electrical/medical engineering from 
>KTH.  Isabelle's thesis topic is on the introduction, diffusion and 
>changing meanings of MRI's in Sweden since the 1980s.  She is more broadly 
>interested in medical and health technologies, biology and biotechnologies 
>and the social/medical construction of the body. Isabelle plans to arrive 
>in early September and will leave by mid-January.  She has indicated that 
>her partner will travel with her.  Isabelle is regularly checking on-line 
>housing listings in the area (craigslist.com), but is finding it difficult 
>doing this from Sweden since she is unfamiliar with the Boston/Cambridge 
>neighborhoods. Isabelle told me that she was prepared to pay up to $2000 a 
>month for rent.  We're hoping that someone in our sci-tech-public 
>community might know of an apartment or house sitting situation that would 
>be available for Isabelle (and probably her partner) for the fall term. 
>You can respond directly to Isabelle at the following e-mail: isabelle 
>dussauge <isadus at kth.se>.  Thank you!
