- W224173668 abstract "Organizational Notes THE DEARBORN, MICHIGAN, MEETING, OCTOBER 17—20, 1985 More than 200 people attended the twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Society for the History of Technology at Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan, October 17—20, 1985. The meeting was sponsored by the Edison Institute and the Michigan Technological University Program in Science, Technology, and Soci ety. Susan Douglas (Hampshire College) chaired the Program Com mittee, which included Jeffrey Sturchio (University of Pennsylvania) and W. Bernard Carlson (Michigan Technological University); Steven Hamp (Henry Ford Museum) and Terry Reynolds (Michigan Tech nological University) chaired the Local Arrangements Committee. SHOT Special Award: Jack Goodwin In recognition of his two decades of service to SHOT in compiling the annual “Current Bibliography in the History of Technology,” the Awards Committee (Brooke Hindle, chair) prepared a certificate of appreciation for Jack Goodwin (Smithsonian Institution). The special award citation reads as follows: Historical scholarship owes an incalculable debt to the art of the bibliographer, for, without well-conceived finding guides, the thorough and painstaking research on which the acquisition of fresh knowledge depends could not be carried out. The Society for the History of Technology is extremely fortunate to have had the services of a first-rate bibliographer, Jack Goodwin of the Smithsonian Institution, over the course ofmany years. For nearly two decades, beginning with the Spring 1965 issue of Technology and Culture and ending with that of April 1983, each annual appearance of Goodwin’s “Current Bibliography in the History of Technology” provided practitioners of our discipline with indis pensable assistance in the pursuit of our craft. Throughout this entire period, as his preliminary commentaries reveal, he tried in every way possible to respond to the needs of the profession by enhancing the comprehensiveness of his listings, searching out older entries that had been inadvertently missed in previous 577 578 Organizational Notes cumulations, making periodic adjustments in classification and organization, providing helpful annotations and references to reviews that were published in respected journals, and making difficult but necessary decisions to distinguish between superficial productions and works of real scholarly merit. Thanks to his untiring efforts there is not one among us who has not benefited from his dedicated service, and it is self-evident that his work will have a lasting and profound impact upon the future of every area of study to which our members are committed. In bestowing on Jack Goodwin this expression of our deep gratitude and esteem we honor not only him but bibliographers in general for the cru cial but so frequently unsung mission they perform in behalf of all of us. Program Summaries “New Directions in the History of Technology: Reflections on Theory and Method,” organized by Susan Douglas and chaired by Bruce Sinclair (University ofToronto), was attended by approximately seventy-five people. The purpose of the session was to consider some of the larger intellectual questions confronting SHOT and to discuss what areas of study and modes of inquiry we need to address in the future. Three panelists offered their perspectives, and then discussion was opened up to the audience. Edward Constant (Carnegie-Mellon University) identified several areas he thought we should know more about. First, he noted the need for the collected biographies of engineers, pointing out that while we have learned a great deal about the “stars,” we do not know much at all about the “foot soldiers” who played critical roles in the evolution of engineering practices. Next, Constant addressed the social construc tion of science and technology, emphasizing the need for a better understanding of how social groups at various levels of a range of institutions defined the meaning of science and technology. Historians also need to study the design process itself to appreciate the economic, political, and social constraints on this process and to analyze how those constraints were negotiated, traded off, or overcome. While we need to integrate better the history of technology with more general history, Constant emphasized that we cannot in the process sacrifice an under standing of how the technology works. Gary Kulik (National Museum of American History) focused on three issues that he feels need more attention. The so-called Whig history of technology..." @default.
