Showing Up: Toward Social Justice in Engineering

This event will discuss how connecting engineering and social justice requires us to collectively identify root causes of injustice in society, and the ways in which engineering -- as a discipline and professional practice -- may sustain or perpetuate it. This is a harrowing task, coming to terms with harms that we cannot "unsee" As we commit to do things differently, we may find engineers need to learn a new set of skills in community building, personal transformation, and reflective action -- skills that are best acquired in partnership and apprenticeship with organizations well versed in equity work.
