Call for Nominations: SHOT International Scholars Program
Every year, the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) calls for nominations from non-North
American scholars to join SHOT’s International Scholars Program. Nominee submissions are reviewed by
members of SHOT’s Internationalization Committee and up to four scholars are chosen each year for a
two-year term. The aim of the Program is to foster the individual careers of International Scholars and to
support local networks and activities for and by scholars working on the history of technology.
International Scholars act as ambassadors for SHOT 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.
To become a SHOT International Scholar, you must reside and work in an underrepresented country at
the time of selection. Graduate students, post docs, and visiting scholars who are living and working in
the United States or Western Europe are not eligible to become International Scholars; however, they
are eligible to apply once they return to their home countries. Of these potential candidates, any one at
any rank, from graduate student up through senior scholar, is eligible to become an International
Scholar.
Individuals may be nominated as International Scholars by any member of the Society, and we also
encourage self-nomination. For further information about the nomination and application process, as
well as the benefits and support provided to International Scholars, please visit our International Scholars Program page.
