Constructing Educational Possibilities for Latin* Engineering Students: Call to Action for the Institutions and Systems That Serve Them

Fri, April 12, 7:45 to 9:15am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 115B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This structured poster session engages a community of innovative and intersectionally diverse scholars (by stage, institution, discipline, identities inclusive and beyond Latinidad). We take an intentionally nuanced and intersectional approach to Latina/e/o/x engineering experiences and potential avenues for structural change. This session focuses on real and actionable implications, indeed, the educational possibilities—even in challenging political and legal climates—to facilitate equity-focused change in Latin* students’ pathways through engineering education and the workforce. Twelve author teams present on from their in-press edited book chapters, focused on addressing racial injustice. Our call to action focuses on undoing structurally exclusion of racialized Latin* students from engineering, both within and across institutional types and contexts. Implications attend to faculty, departments, administration, and policy.
