The course and its approach have been the subject of previous scholarship (see [18]and [19]).During the Autumn 2024 iteration of the course, which is the focus of this autoethnography, Iintroduced significant experimental elements that expanded student agency. Students not onlychose their own readings but also participated in selecting the analytical lenses through whichthey would examine the literature. To complement this enhanced student agency, I changed thecourse's reflection component to focus on broader cross-cutting "big ideas:" argument, genre,trustworthiness, significance, and ethics.

Interestingly, the instructors involved in thisresearch project have long been concerned about the ethical considerations surrounding thesustainability of course projects.In the early 2000s, instructors received external funding to establish a joint course collaborationwith a local university in Kenya. However, once the funding ended, it became impossible tosustain the partnership.

As a result, as the construction sector becomes increasinglyglobalized and complex, the need for DEI has grown, not only for ethical reasons but also todrive innovation and problem-solving [9].To address these systemic issues, higher education institutions play a crucial role in shaping thefuture workforce of the construction industry.
