Envirotech
Prize
We are inviting nominations for the Envirotech Prize for Best Article on the Interplay between
Technology and the Environment in 2003/05 which will be awarded in 2005 for the second time.
The Envirotech Prize recognizes the best article on the relationship between technology and the
environment published in the three previous calendar years. We are particularly seeking innovative publications that explore new ways of
thinking about the interplay between technological systems and the natural
environment. Articles may be submitted in any language; however, for
articles not written in English, the applicant will need to provide a
translation. Younger scholars are especially encouraged to submit their
publications.
The Envirotech Prize carries a cash award and will be awarded at the
conference of the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) in Minneapolis, November 3-6, 2005. The deadline for submissions is
June 1, 2005. Self-nomination is encouraged.
Please submit one copy of your article, together with a brief curriculum
vitae, to each of the committee members:
