T459·Queering Engineering Spaces - Envisioning and centering queer dreams and futures
Special Equity, Culture & Social Justice in Education Division (EQUITY)
Tue. June 23, 2026 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM
Westin - Uptown 1 - 1st Floor, Westin
Session Description

Our interactive session focuses on individual/collective envisioning for hopeful and joyful queer engineering futures. We know queerness and transness is joy, where queer and trans people have always existed in society and history. However, within engineering and STEM innovation, LGBTQ+ history, contributions, and identities are often erased. Queer and trans people, particularly BIPOC individuals, have been reshaping and redefining a variety of other fields and higher education for decades from their experiences and navigation of their own gender and sexual identities. We hope our session will be ... (continued)

Session Description

More often than not, engineering education researchers think within the boundaries of what is mutually understood as important to United States scholars. For example, many scholars study historically and currently relevant categorizations of people that could be related to receiving an engineering education in the United States such as race, ethnicity, gender, international status, etc. Although these categorizations are important to investigate, we must recognize that there are many missed opportunities to further our understanding of other phenomena that could affect engineering education and p ...
