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.
COURSES:
I focus on teaching comparative [transnational] courses on gender and
science, "big" sciences, and science, technology, and society
which explore the relations of culture, political economy, and research
practices. Lectures and readings in my courses concentrate on the nineteenth
and twentieth century. I have taught the following courses:
Power and Knowledge:
20C Cultural History of Knowledge Making [lower division]
20C Cultural History of the Triple Helix: Univ/Govt/Industry and Knowledge
Making
[Undergrad/grad seminar]
20C Cultural Approaches to the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine
(undergraduate/graduate)
Big Science in the 20 C [upper division lecture course]
Contemporary History of the Physical Sciences (undergraduate seminar)
Contemporary History of the Social Sciences (undergraduate seminar)
Gender Studies of Science, Technology, and Medicine (graduate seminar)
History and Anthropology in the Study of Science, Technology, and Medicine
(graduate)
Cross-cultural Studies of Elites: Strategic (Re)Production of Careers
and Power (Undergraduate)
Cross-cultural Studies of Organizations in Japan & the US (Graduate
& Undergraduate)
Gender & Generation in Contemporary Japanese Cultures (Undergraduate)
Cross-cultural Studies of Lives: Autobiographies of Scientists & Engineers
(Undergraduate)
Cross-cultural Studies of Sciences and Technologies (Graduate, Undergraduate)
Cross-Cultural Studies in Visual Representation as Evidence in Law, Social
& Natural Sciences (Undergraduate)
New Work at the Intersection of Cultural, Gender, and Social Studies of
Science, Technology, and Medicine (graduate)
Proseminar on Contemporary Anthropologies in Several Nations (graduate)
Seminar on Anthropology as Cultural Critique (graduate)
Science, Technology, & Society in Western Culture (First year undergraduate)
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.
