Hi,  Eric

The History of Science Society has a database, "Guide to the History 
of Science" at http://www.hssonline.org/teaching/teaching.html to 
help find such programs:
The Guide to the History of Science
This searchable online database contains entries on nearly 600 
institutions, associations, and serial publications involved with the 
history of science, technology, and medicine. It also lists the names 
and e-mail addresses of over 5,000 historians and philosophers of 
science, and includes broad research interests for nearly 3,000. 
Updated twice a year, the Guide has incorporated and expanded upon 
several of the links pages formerly maintained by the Society.

Use the Database Search box  on the lefthand side bar, not the links 
in the text. Along with "policy" "communications," try "STS = Science 
and Technology Studies."

And, in my opinion, membership in HSS is the bargain of the world, 
just for the access it gives members to the rich online 
bibliographical  "HSTM Database," compiled by the Society's 
Bibliographer (who also puts out a yearly print "Current 
Bibliography")  and 3 other international hsitory of 
science/technology/medicine organizations:
"Chief among the research resources created by the Society is the 
HSTM Database. With over 237,000 professionally collected entries 
from around the world, this database is the definitive international 
bibliography for the history of science, technology, and medicine. 
Please note that this database is only available to members. (Join 
now and get access to this powerful research tool.)"

Full disclosure--I'm on the HSS Council and the editorial advisory 
board for the HSS Current Bibliography.
