Steering Committee

The Doctoral Program in History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, and Society (HASTS) at MIT is a collaborative program sponsored by three MIT academic units: History (course 21H), Anthropology (course 21A), and Science, Technology, and Society (course STS).

The Doctoral Program is governed by a Steering Committee, which consists of the Director of Graduate Studies and the faculty heads of the three participating sections. A faculty member from STS, History, or Anthropology serves as the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS).  Administration of the Doctoral Program is the responsibility of STS.
