Today I welcome historian of science, technology, and inequality Amy Slaton.
Amy E. Slaton is a professor of history at Drexel University in Philadelphia. She holds a PhD in the History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on the history of technical expertise and labor, seen through the lens of historical ideas of human difference—asking, that is, how ideas of race, gender, disability and queer identifications have operated in places of scientific and technical work. Her most recent book, Race, Rigor and Selectivity in U.S. Engineering: The History of an Occupational Color Line (Harvard University Press, 2010), follows racial ideologies in engineering higher education since the 1940s. Her current book project, All Good People: Diversity, Difference and the Invention of Opportunity describes the limits of American commitments to equity around race, gender, LGBTQ and disabilities since the Civil Rights era. She is co-editor with Tiago Saraiva of the journal History & Technology.
