ABSTRACT The lack of diversity in engineering and perpetuation of inequities through engineering designs have motivated the rise of new curricula centred on the integration of traditional technical content with social aspects of technology. However, the ‘revolutionizing’ of curricula has primarily been spearheaded by junior faculty, women and faculty of colour. This article uses an autoethnographic approach to explore the development of social justice-oriented curricula within engineering from the perspectives of junior women and faculty of colour. Drawing on feminist and critical race theory, we discuss how power dynamics within the school, university and engineering more broadly have shaped the development and teaching of justice-oriented engineering. Through the lens of our experiences, we show that, despite the support from some institutional allies and administrators, stereotypes, hegemonic norms and microaggressions can undermine efforts for social and structural change in engineering education, even as such changes are supported and promoted by the institution.

引导工程中的平等工作:与少数族裔老师遇到的信息矛盾

摘要工程学缺乏多样性,以及通过工程设计实现不平等现象的持续存在,促使以传统技术内容与技术社会方面的融合为中心的新课程的兴起。然而,课程的“革命性”主要是由初级教职,妇女和色彩学系带头的。本文使用一种民族志方法从初级女性和色彩学院的角度探讨了工程学中面向社会正义的课程的发展。利用女权主义和批判性种族理论,我们讨论学校,大学和工程学内部的动力动力学如何更广泛地影响以正义为导向的工程学的发展和教学。通过我们的经验,我们表明,
