Section Information for Fall 2023
Today, we debate how we should develop, use, or perhaps reject new technologies, from ChatGPT and military drones to Covid tests and induction stoves. In this section of HIST 499, students will ask how previous generations made choices about once-new technologies of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They will explore specialized periodicals—aimed at both producers and consumers of technology—to trace discoveries, debates, and decisions about technology and identity. And they will develop core skills of research, writing, and analysis.
