New Graduate Program
History of Science, Technology, & Medicine
University of Minnesota
The University of Minnesota is pleased to announce the formation of a new graduate program in History of Science, Technology, and Medicine resulting from the merger of the long-established graduate programs in History of Science and Technology and History of Medicine. In addition to its strong offerings in the social and intellectual history of science, technology, and medicine the new program will allow students to study the history of topics that lie at the boundaries of these areas such as biomedical engineering, the biomedical sciences, and the use of computer technology in health care and the health sciences. Substantial financial aid is available in the form of fellowships and teaching and research assistantships, and applications for graduate study are now being accepted for admission in fall 2007. The new program has eleven faculty members: Jennifer Alexander (modern European technology), Mark Borrello (modern biology), John M. Eyler (modern medicine and public health), Jennifer Gunn (modern medicine and social sciences), Michel Janssen (modern physics), Susan Jones (modern biomedical and life sciences), Sally Gregory Kohlstedt (American science), Tom Misa (modern technology and culture), Robert W. Seidel (19th and 20th century science and science-based technologies), Jole Shackelford (Renaissance medicine), and Alan E. Shapiro (early-modern physical sciences). For further information contact: The Program in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine, University of Minnesota, 148 Tate Laboratory of Physics, 116 Church St. SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455, or at hstm@physics.umn.edu, or visit the web page at http://hstm.umn.edu/.
