In 1992 the Society for the History of Technology inaugurated the International Scholars program with these goals:
More attention is given to scholars from countries outside the U.S. and Western Europe, not only to foster their individual careers but also to support local networks and activities for and by scholars working on the history of technology. 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.
Each year the Society for the History of Technology designates up to four International Scholars for a two-year term. The International Scholars program is administered by the Internationalization Committee. Below you will find the overview of our Current and Previous International Scholars.
Between 2017 and 2020 the Society for the History of Technology supported various international events with grants. This was handled by the International Small Grants Committee. In addition to promoting the Society’s mission, the grants aimed at globalizing the Society’s intellectual terrain as well as broadening its international membership. You can find a full overview of the supported event here.
