Session Description

Whiteness operates within academic settings, impacting curriculum design, pedagogical approaches, and student experiences. Engineering education has historically privileged the values, beliefs, experiences and perspectives of White male culture, particularly in the United States. While there has been substantial research into the masculinity of engineering, there has been comparatively little research about Whiteness. These systemic and normalized privileges have led to spaces exclusively cultivated for Whiteness to operate and thrive while thwarting the trajectory and progress of a dynamic engin ... (continued)
