THE IEEE HISTORY CENTER LECTURE SERIES

The mission of the IEEE History Center is to preserve, research, and promote the vast legacy of electrical & electronics engineering, computing, and related fields. As historians and social scientists who interact with scientists, engineers, and technologists, we at the IEEE History Center are keenly interested in the multidimensional ways in which society and technology relate to one another. We also recognize that we have a range of colleagues from throughout the Rutgers University community who share this concern. We have therefore established this lecture series.

By partnering with various co-sponsors throughout the University, this lecture series invites many different audiences--audiences that may not always communicate directly with each other--to come together to explore the many social, ethical, economic, corporate, and cultural factors that shape technology and are in turn shaped by it. Presentations will be by leading scholars and practitioners who work at or explore the borders between science, technology, and society.
