Greetings friends of humanitarian engineering,

Our colleagues at EngineeringForChange host a series of excellent webinars each month (a list of past recordings is here). 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

Virtual Seminar Invitation: Building Structures to Advance Activist Engineering

April 14th | 12pm ET | Free registration required

We know that inequality, injustice, and exploitation are hardwired into models of technological design and technical work. 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.
