FROM JEN LIGHT: Dear STS Community,
The STS Program is thrilled to announce the creation of the L. Dennis Shapiro (1955) Graduate Fellowship in the History of African American Experience of Technology, thanks to a generous gift from MIT alum Dennis Shapiro. This new fellowship supports a Ph.D. student who is studying the history of African Americans’ engagement with technology: invention, use, engineering, cultural innovation and creativity. The fellowship also provides the selected student with a summer research stipend and research support, renewable for up to three years. It is also accompanied by a Program Fund to enable supporting activities by the STS Program. ​ Kelcey Gibbons, an MIT Ph.D. student in HASTS studying the history of black computer professionals and black technological education in the twentieth century, is the first recipient of a Shapiro Fellowship.
