An increasing number of researchers and educators in the field of engineering wish to integrate considerations of social justice into their work and practice. In this volume, an international team of authors, from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, invite scholars to think and teach in new ways that acknowledge the social, as well as technical, impact engineering can have on our world and that open possibilities for social justice movements to help shape engineering and technology. The book examines three areas of an engineering academics professional role: teaching, research, and community engagement. The contributors take a broad social and ecological justice perspective to critique existing practices and explore alternatives. The result is a handbook for all scholars of engineering who think beyond the technical elements of their field, and an essential reader for anyone who believes in the transformative power of the discipline.

La República de Francia, con una visión de mediano y largo plazo, identificó un espacio para que, con base en la construcción de mayores capacidades cientÃficas...

Mi Marcha se encuentra mediada por los tránsitos y los tiempos. Ambas, nociones indispensables para pensar acerca de los bordes, los lÃmites y las fronteras que fijamos para designar las categorÃas desde las cuales nos relacionamos con el mundo y los contextos. Desde lo más cotidiano y voluntario, hasta lo reglamentario y normativo; desde la forma en que respetamos o no las diferencias, hasta lo que, por ejemplo, en el ámbito del patrimonio cultural oficial, se clasificarÃa por fuera o por dentro de esta designación, está mediado por tales categorÃas. En 2022 la marcha de la movilización LGBTI cumple cuarenta años de existencia en nuestra ciudad, y en el marco de esta conmemoraciÃ...
