The Sole Palladium
We are at a moment in our shared national history when the freedom of speech has become a subject of controversy. On the left, college students demand the rescission of invitations to speakers whose ideas they disfavour.1 On the right, President Trump has repeatedly threatened to censor the press for publishing journalism critical of his administration.2 The only thing that seems to unite the left and right in our polarized society appears to be their unanimous disdain for the freedom of speech. This is a dangerous condition for a democratic government, which relies on the free exchange and debate of ideas to function properly. Even worse, many of those who hold strong views on the freedom o...

Technology's Storytellers
Technology's Storytellers documents the emergence of the history of technology as a coherent intellectual discipline. Based on an analysis of nearly 300 articles published in Technology and Culture, it proposes a mode of historical research as a communal rather than an individualistic endeavor—looking for patterns of consensus in the authors' choice of time periods, geographical locations, and types of technology to study. It discusses the recurrent themes of the relationship between science and technology and the cultural ambience of technology, and examines the extent to which historians are moving away from a once pervasive ideology of autonomous technological progress. Co-published with the Society for the History of Technology.
