The year 2020 has been unprecedented in a number of ways. Systemic racism has come to the forefront of society with global outcries for justice rarely seen, especially in recent years. Couple that with a pandemic that has adversely impacted millions globally - in terms of illnesses, deaths, job losses, education, and so much more - it's no wonder why so many people are #OVER2020.
This episode is a conversation with Dr. Carlotta Berry, a co-founder of BlackinEngineering.org, and Dr. Audrey Bowden and Dr. Cullen Buie, two faculty members who led the development of the group's Call to Action for becoming an anti-racist university. We discuss many of the "hows" and "whys" of change and the life or death imperative for equity and inclusion in engineering research and problem solving, especially as related to Covid-19 and other global challenges.
