SGER: Workshop: Rethinking Technology After September 11 (March 2002)

项目摘要ses 0220979SGER: 9 / 11事件后的技术反思rosalind Williams，麻省理工学院SGER奖支持在麻省理工学院举行的一个小型会议，在该会议上，一小群学者聚集在一起，讨论2001年9 / 11破坏性事件及其后果对历史学家和社会科学家在技术研究中的研究、教育和公众参与的影响。与会者讨论了以下四个问题：1。历史学家和社会科学家为学术和公众理解这些事件提供了哪些知识和观点？这些事件对这些领域的新议程、优先事项和研究方向有什么启示？这些事件对这些领域的教育的新议程、优先事项和方向提出了什么建议？这些事件对这些领域的从业者和组织的政治和社会参与的新形式有什么启示？会议的主要成果是该领域主要学术组织2002年年会的几次会议和研讨会：2002年10月在多伦多举行的技术史学会（SHOT）年会，以及2003年10月在亚特兰大举行的SHOT和科学社会研究学会（4S）联合会议。此外，每周将在麻省理工学院举办一次研讨会，与奈特科学新闻项目和麻省理工学院新的科学写作学位项目合作，主题是“科技时事”。此外，研讨会将在技术史学会的通讯和其他几个学术学会的通讯中突出，以便在尽可能广泛的受众中激发对该主题的思考。《历史与技术》杂志的编辑约翰·克里格（John Krige）愿意发表研讨会的总结以及我们讨论后产生的任何论文。

Project AbstractSES 0220979SGER: Rethinking Technology After September 11Rosalind Williams, MITThis SGER award supports a small conference at MIT, where a small group of scholars gathered to discuss the implications for research, education, and public engagement among historians and social scientists in technology studies following the destructive events of September 11, 2001, and their aftermath. Participants discussed the following four questions:1. What knowledge and perspective do historians and social scientists have to offer to scholarly and public understanding of those events?2. What do those events suggest in the way of new agendas, priorities, anddirections for research in these fields?3. What do those events suggest in the way of new agendas, priorities, anddirections for education in these fields?4. What do those events suggest in the way of new forms of political and social engagement for practitioners and organizations in these fields?The primary outcome of the meeting is several sessions and workshops at the 2002 annual meetings of the major scholarly organizations in the field: the annual meeting of the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) in October 2002 (Toronto), and the joint meeting of SHOT and the Society for the Social Study of Science (4S) in Atlanta in October 2003. In addtiion, a weekly seminar is to be held at MIT, in conjunction with the Knight Science Journalism Program and the new Science Writing degree program at MIT, on "Current Events in Science and Technology." Also the workshop is to be highlightedin the newsletter for the Society of the History of Technology and newsletters of several other scholarly societies in order to stimulate thinking about the subject among as wide an audience as possible. John Krige, Editor of the journal Historyand Technology has offered to publish a summary of the workshop and any papersthat are produced as a result of our discussions.
