Project AbstractSES Proposal 0129823Technology in the Making of 20th Century EuropeThomas Misa, Illinois Institute of TechnologyThis proposal supports the participation of American historians of technology in a large-scale, European-based study seeking to understand the roles of technology in the making of European society across the 20th century. The work undertaken focuses on conceptual and empirical research that will extend the European project -- and which is done in close collaboration with a network of European and North American scholars. The PIs intend the work outlined here, in both substantive and organizational ways, to help the field of STS speak to vital public concerns about the role of technology in society. More specifically, the project is intended to generate new knowledge about technology's role in 20th-century Europe, greater visibility and coherence for European studies of technology in the U.S., and a better comparative understanding of U.S. developments. These collaborative efforts may serve as a model for STS research that is transnational in topic, organization, and method.Specific activities include the following: [a] coordination and integration of the European project as a whole, with a goal of refining concepts and methods for conducting detailed empirical research related to "big" questions about technology in complex historical processes; [b] work on the "cities" theme of the larger project -- involving research, coordination, workshops, and publications; and [c] similar work on the "colonialism" theme of the project. The PI and co-PI are already deeply involved in the European network; through workshops and other efforts, the project seeks to encourage broader participation by other U.S. scholars.

项目摘要SES提案0129823技术在20世纪世纪欧洲托马斯米萨，伊利诺伊州理工学院该提案支持美国技术历史学家参与一项大规模的，以欧洲为基础的研究，旨在了解技术在整个20世纪世纪欧洲社会的作用。 所开展的工作侧重于概念和经验研究，这将扩大欧洲项目-这项工作是与欧洲和北美学者网络密切合作进行的。PI打算在这里概述的工作，在实质性和组织的方式，以帮助STS领域说话的技术在社会中的作用至关重要的公众关注。 更具体地说，该项目旨在产生有关技术在20世纪欧洲的作用的新知识，提高欧洲技术研究在美国的可见性和一致性，更好地了解美国的发展。 这些合作努力可以作为STS研究的典范，在主题、组织和方法上具有跨国性。具体活动包括以下内容：[a]整个欧洲项目的协调和整合，目标是完善概念和方法，以进行与复杂历史过程中技术“大”问题相关的详细实证研究;[B]就较大项目的“城市”主题开展工作-涉及研究、协调、讲习班和出版物;[c]就项目的“殖民主义”主题开展类似工作。PI和co-PI已经深入参与欧洲网络;通过研讨会和其他努力，该项目旨在鼓励其他美国学者更广泛地参与。
