Fellowship Work Summary, 2023–24

Miriam Posner reconceived her book, Seeing Like a Supply Chain, and drafted six chapters on the history of logistics technology. In order to do this, she read thousands of technical and professional documents from the industry, from 1945 until the present. She expects to finish editing the book in the summer of 2024 and submit the manuscript to Yale University Press, where it is under contract.
