Abstract
Wiebe Bijker, in his plenary lecture on the occasion of receiving SHOT's 2012 Leonardo da Vinci Medal, traces the history of the social construction of technology (SCOT) and interweaves this with observations on the development of the history of technology during the last three decades and with some biographical reflections. His collaborations with Thomas P. Hughes and Trevor Pinch figure prominently. He concludes with two examples from his current research collaboration with Indian researchers: on the making of the first Scanning Tunnel Microscope in India, and on reinventing a more sustainable socio-technology of handloom weaving.
