Fw: Virtual Seminar Invitation: Building Structures to Advance Activist Engineering
by MacCarty, Nordica 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

Greetings friends of humanitarian engineering, Our colleagues at EngineeringForChange host a series of excellent webinars each month (a list of past recordings is here<https://www.engineeringforchange.org/webinars/>). The invitation below looks particularly interesting to our community as it focuses on "how academics can contribute to building structures that economically support engineers doing work focused directly on environmental protection, social justice, peace, and human rights. " I hope you may find it useful. Have a wonderful spring, ~Nordica Nordica A. MacCarty, Ph.D. (she/her/hers) | Assistant Professor | Richard & Gretchen Evans Scholar of Humanitarian Engineering | School of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering | Oregon State University Office: 312 Rogers Hall | Mailing: 204 Rogers Hall | Corvallis, OR 97331 | Mobile: 541.684.4540 ________________________________ From: Engineering for Change <editor(a)engineeringforchange.org> Sent: Thursday, April 1, 2021 10:16 AM To: MacCarty, Nordica <Nordica.MacCarty(a)oregonstate.edu> Subject: Virtual Seminar Invitation: Building Structures to Advance Activist Engineering [This email originated from outside of OSU.

The question now is, What is to be done about it? In this webinar, Darshan Karwat, at ASU's School for the Future of Innovation in Society and Fulton Schools of Engineering, will discuss ongoing work in re-Engineered, an interdisciplinary lab he leads. Dr. Karwat will frame a discussion on how academics can contribute to building structures that economically support engineers doing work focused directly on environmental protection, social justice, peace, and human rights.
