Georgia Institute of Technology School of History and Sociology

Researchers in this cluster set technology and engineering in social, political, and economic context, past and present. Many focus on the rules, procedures, and customs that influence access to scientific and technological professions and shape practices in a range of scientific and technological domains. With an emphasis on Europe and the United States since 1850, the group actively links past experiences to contemporary issues and concerns.  For more information,  visit the faculty page for the History of Technology/Engineering in Society research area.
