Description
The Brooke Hindle Postdoctoral Fellowship is administered by the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) and honors Brooke Hindle’s contributions to the Society. Made possible by his family’s generosity, it supports a sustained period of research or writing in the history of technology. Applicants may prepare a dissertation for publication as articles or a monograph, or develop a new project based on primary research.
The fellowship emphasizes historical research grounded in primary sources and an original contribution to a field related to the history of technology. New projects should be situated within the applicant’s broader research agenda, including their relationship to dissertation work. Relevant seminars, workshops, or conferences may accompany the project, but historical research remains the principal focus. Research may take place in any country and involve any language.
