SHOT Founders' Themes and Problems

摘要

What did SHOT's founders believe were the major themes and problems that should be explored? It will be interesting to compare the founders' problem choices with those Wiebe Bijker identifies today and those Rebecca Herzig envisions for the future. To explore the founders' choices, I shall begin with the formation of a Kranzberg-organized advisory committee in 1957 and continue through 1959 using the correspondence I have on file. Then I will turn to the first issue of Technology and Culture to find what themes and problems were raised there.
