Rijul Kochhar, assistant professor of anthropology, recently received the 2021-22 Siegel Teaching Prize from his doctoral institution, MIT, in recognition of his graduate student teaching. The Siegel Teaching Prize was established 16 years ago to recognize History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, and Society (HASTS) graduate students who have excelled in their commitment to and performance in MIT’s undergraduate teaching program. This award was given to Rijul for his exceptional contribution to the Science, Technology, and Society course entitled “Technology and Culture” (STS21A.500/STS.075) taught by Professor Stefan Helmreich. This subject examines relationships among technology, culture, and politics in a range of social and historical settings. Congratulations, Rijul!
