History, Technology, and Society:
Historical and Sociological Perspectives
on a Technological World
Welcome to the School of History, Technology, and Society (HTS), an interdisciplinary unit within the Ivan Allen College, consisting of scholars from history and sociology. The School brings the perspective of the social sciences to bear on critical issues facing the modern world, while providing a source of analysis that emphasizes both change over time and cultural comparisons on an international scale.
Our program takes a special interest in issues of science and technology as they affect human society. The School’s focus on the social origins and impact of industry, science, and technology is distinctive and offers the tools students need to understand the complex issues related to the development of contemporary communities.
The HTS faculty have won numerous teaching and research awards, and we are particularly committed to outstanding teaching and research. The School offers a BS degree; undergraduate minors in history, sociology, and women, science, and technology; and certificate programs not only in history and sociology but also in African American studies, Asian Affairs, and European Affairs. Graduate students can earn a MS or PhD degree in the History and Sociology of Technology and Science.
