[Sci-tech-public] history of technology WEBSITE

[Judith Spitzer]

Dear all,

You may remember that in June 2024 the STS Program organized the "MIT Symposium on the History of Technology: Past, Present, and Future" to honor the retirement and legacy of Professor Merritt Roe Smith. The symposium invited ideas about new interpretative approaches to the field and thoughts about neglected research topics in need of attention.  It encouraged open-ended discussion to prompt fresh thinking about the field and add to the momentum it has already achieved.

We are now happy to present the   *WEBSITE*   that was created to make the symposium papers available to the MIT community and the public.  In addition, the website contains an interview with Roe Smith conducted by HASTS graduate student Kelcey Gibbons (who also created the website).  The interview is followed by video lectures on the history of MIT that were originally filmed for the MIT OpenCourseWare initiative.

Best regards,
Judy
