Science

I am an associate professor in the History Department at UCLA; I have also been on the faculty of the Anthropology Department at Rice University and the Program in Anthropology & Archeology and to the Program in Science, Technology, & Society at MIT. I have held visiting faculty positions at the Mt Holyoke Five College Women's Studies Research Center, the Anthropology Department at the University of California at San Diego, and the Program in Values, Technology, Science, and Society at Stanford University. I received my Ph.D. in 1982 from the History of Consciousness Program at the University of California at Santa Cruz.

My first book is Beamtimes and Lifetimes: The World of High Energy Physicists (Harvard University Press, 1988, paperback 1992). My next book, which is on Japanese big science, and a third on crafting cultural studies of science, technology, and medicine are both nearly completed; I have also published 25 articles in books and journals of anthropology, Asian studies, communications, cultural studies, history, and women's studies.

Since receiving my Ph.D. I have given over 180 talks in 11 countries for researchers in the fields of anthropology, cultural studies, history, international relations, Japan studies, science and technology studies, science education, and women's studies; during the coming academic year twelve more are already scheduled. My work has been supported by, among others, the Danforth Foundation, the Fulbright Association, the Luce Foundation, the National Science Foundation, MIT, Rice University, UCLA, the University of California, and the Japanese government.

For health reasons [increasing limitations in my physical mobility] I focused the last few years on doing research [usually requiring travel], writing articles, deferring writing books until later, although writing books are still required for promotion in history. Three years ago I had major surgery [relieving severe compression on my spinal cord in my neck]; that and ongoing physical therapy has alleviated many of my long-standing health problems.

TEACHING

I am a finalist for a competitive award at UCLA: I have applied for my lower division course to become a case study in ‘e-teaching’ whereby many new digital resources will be made available for my class, in order to facilitate the teaching of research strategies to first and second year undergraduates.

In fall 2003 I jointly taught a seminar with two colleagues at Kyoto University; we had audio, visual, and computer links and our classes were held simultaneously at Kyoto and UCLA. 10 undergrads and 5 graduate students at UCLA; 15 undergrads and 10 international students at Kyoto.

TEACHING EVALUATIONS:
My teaching is consistently evaluated by students as very good to excellent; current reviews are available from the History Department at UCLA, the Anthropology Departments of Rice University, MIT, and UCSD, the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT, and the women's studies program at Mt. Holyoke College.

Three graduate students with whom I have worked have received competitive awards at UCLA enabling them to teach undergraduate seminars of their own design.

UNDERGRADUATE theses research I have advised include the following topics: comparative ethnographic study of engineering workplace culture in Japan and the US, statistical study of political participation among American scientists; gender analysis of sociobiology; visual ethnography of MIT laboratories; oral history of elderly women in one family in China; ethnography of a physics group at MIT; science and colonialism in South Africa; appropriate technology as a social movement; science and new age movements in Houston; gender and epistemology in philosophy; science education in Los Angeles; women in the history of Santa Monica Airport.

I am very pleased that three people who once did undergraduate research projects with me are now faculty in the history and anthropology of science, technology, and medicine: Prof. Gabrielle Hecht, Michigan; Prof. Joseph Dumit, MIT; Prof. Atsushi Akera, RPI .

GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH ADVISING
Although UCLA gives faculty no official 'credit' for serving on dissertation committees [as opposed to be a student's primary adviser] I am very pleased to be working with students who are not officially working on the history of science, technology, or medicine [and hence it would be inappropriate for me to be their primary adviser]. There are very, very few academic positions in this field [approximately 10-20 per year in the US]; I believe that the field is better served intellectually, academically, pedagogically, and institutionally by encouraging the sophisticated incorporation of these topics, modes of inquiry and interpretive strategies into research that would benefit from them. I also think that world histories of science, technology, and medicine will then be taught as part of the rest of the curricula, which I heartily encourage. The graduate student research projects for which I am serving or have served as an adviser or dissertation committee member include the following current and completed projects. [Regions of the world include Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, North America, and South America.] Students who are not yet advanced to candidacy are not listed.

I am the primary host for Helena Pettersson, a graduate student in anthropology and gender studies, Umea University, Sweden, visiting UCLA January-June 2004
