1. Austin Morgan Kainoa Peters http://orcid.org/0009-0005-6111-214X Purdue University [biography]

   Austin Morgan Kainoa Peters was born and raised in Wailuku, Hawaiʻi where he attended Kamehameha Schools Maui (KSM). This private, Christian K-12 institution gives admission preference to children with Hawaiian ancestry and attempts to incorporate Hawaiian culture, history, and values into a Western-based curricula. Although KSM has many settler colonial influences, it taught Peters to see the benefits of his ethnicities, especially Native Hawaiian, within academia. Peters obtained his bachelor’s degree at the University of San Diego (USD) in Integrated Engineering. Assimilating to the culture of this predominantly white institution left Peters questioning if he could be an engineer and multiracial. Fortunately, the liberal arts emphasis of the school combined with research work in Engineering Education helped him to see his worth as a multiracial engineer. Peters’ current goal is to obtain a doctorate in Engineering Education at Purdue University to challenge the embedded settler colonialism of engineering and engineering education.
