International Scholar Program - Society for the History of Technology (SHOT)

International Scholarships » College Scholarships » University Scholarships 

Each year the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) selects up to four International Scholars for a two-year term.

International Scholars receive a regular SHOT membership at no cost during their appointment and a subscription to the journal Technology and Culture.

International Scholars also receive the highest priority when applying for travel funding to attend the SHOT annual meeting.

Applicants must reside and work in underrepresented countries — meaning outside of the U.S. and Western Europe — at the time of their selection. The program accepts applications from graduate students up through senior scholars.

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.

At each annual meeting, SHOT will host a special gathering to welcome current international scholars, introduce them to SHOT officers, and discuss the intellectual dimensions of the field that pertain to international research.

To apply to the SHOT International Scholar Program, please send a copy of your CV and a letter to EACH member of the committee and to SHOT secretary Amy Bix at shot[at]iastate.edu.

Letters must include:

why you would like to be an International Scholar

how you plan to advance the mission of the International Scholar Program

the current state of history of technology research in your home country and your home insitution, and

how your research will enrich existing knowledge in the field.
