The MIT PhD program in History, Anthropology, Science, Technology & Society (HASTS) hosted a symposium recently to celebrate the program’s 25th anniversary.
Deborah K. Fitzgerald, the Kenan Sahin Dean of the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, who also holds the title of longest-serving director of graduate studies of the HASTS program, gave an opening talk at the November event.
Remarking later on at the gathering, she said, “The anniversary symposium was a wonderful occasion to come together to celebrate the significance of this unparalleled program. Our mission in SHASS is to empower our students with the perspectives and skills needed to serve the nation and the world with distinction. The impressive work displayed by our HASTS alumni is a surpassing example of how well that goal is being achieved.”
