pursuing environmental justice for these communities is urgent. Many URMfaculty engage in CER and work to help their communities, and these faculty are seen as trustedallies to enhance the adoption of EnvE technology [24],[25],[26]. CER requires intrinsicallymore holistic approaches that challenge the typical engineering culture that views itself as expert,technophilic, depoliticized, and disengaged from public welfare [27],[28],[29]. Evidencesuggests that URMWF who utilize CER methods often have the rigor of their scholarly activitiesquestioned or discounted as service [30], which can have deleterious consequences for early andmid-career faculty. Thus, it is of concern that research methodology and focus choices might addto other biased practices
