Over at the AmericanScience team blog Dan Bouk has an engaging post about his experience at the recently concluded BHC annual meeting. His answer to the question, "Is Business Our [historians of science, medicine, and technology] Our Business Too?" is a resounding yes. In the process, he gives a good overview of the SMT papers presented at the meeting. He modestly does not mention that his own work, on "The Science of Difference: Developing Tools for Discrimination in the American Life Insurance Industry," won the Herman E. Krooss Prize for the best dissertation presented at the meeting.
Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting.
