Netherlands: Karen Johnson Freeze Fellowship Fund for research in the field of history of technology in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe

Overview

The Karen Johnson Freeze Fellowship Fund is an initiative of the Foundation for the History of Technology (SHT) and the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) to encourage research in the field of history of technology in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe. The fund also wants to contribute to the internatio-nal dissemination of research results.

The Karen Johnson Freeze Fellowship Fund seeks to encourage scientific research and facilitate active partici-pation of early career scholars in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe, in particular in Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lit-huania, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, the Ukraine, and Tur-key.

This fund is established in memory of Karen Johnson Freeze. Within the Tensions of Europe Network, Freeze broadened the perspective and managed to include Eastern, Central, and South Eastern Europe in the work and in the network of Tensions of Europe scholars. She was responsible for the early contacts with young scholars in the region and pointed out existing preconceptions and biases, while bridging the scholarly divisi-ons created as a result of Cold War politics. Through her efforts, the history of technology has begun to deve-lop as a field in Central and Eastern Europe. Within Society for the History of Technology (SHOT), she ser-ved as a very active chair of the International Outreach Committee.


Eligible Candidates

The Karen Johnson Freeze Fellowship Fund supports early career scholars preferably working in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe in their pursuit of both pre- and postdoctoral research in the field of history of technology. The award may be used for travel and/or small stipends providing a basic income for a few months. Through the fund, early career scholars will be allowed to attend international conferences or visit distant archives.
