What does social justice have to do with engineering? This is one of the most disheartening questions I have ever heard. It would be bad enough if it came from someone in the general public; what made it terrifying is that it came from an engineer - a civil engineer. For all who are wondering, tune in for the answer.
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Donna Riley, the Kamyar Haghighi Head of the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University, about a number of topics including: convergent research approaches for solving societal problems, connections between climate justice and social justice, and how societal inequities translate to inequities in engineering education (and vice versa).
