do your research methods employed tostudy engineering education align with your social justice values? In what ways could you examine orimprove upon your research methods to reflect a critical intersectional frame? How might that framebe relevant to your work and change-making in the field of engineering education? Participants willleave the workshop with an increased awareness of how to do engineering education research thatreflects social justice values, paired with concrete methodological ideas to run with. 1 Aligning your Research Methods with your Social Justice Values Plan for the workshop

theories of systems of oppression, provide aforum to critique particular ideologies central to engineering culture that hinder authenticprofessional discussion and reflection on the political, social and ethical dimensions of scienceand technology, and present participants with particular examples where systems of power haveinterlaced with engineering science and design such that access to opportunities, resources andgoods have been stratified across various social identity groups. Having the ability to measure anindividual’s growth in conceptualization of oppression and privilege would be instructive for theindividual and for measuring success of programs designed to promote this learning. The lack ofsuch an instrument provided motivation for

Our intention beyond this meet-up will be to reflect and listento suggestions and participant interests in terms of the directions we might take, create strongernetworks with participant-researchers, and foment these toward change-making tactics andstrategies for seeding the movement and sustaining its practices.References[1]​ E.
