Talk to colleagues and students. Make these frameworks a part of the vocabulary of your department or school. Open discussion of these issues, letting those with privilege begin to see it and those who lack it attribute the dissonance to culture and not simply internalize it.One of the most pernicious practices in engineering education is to state that, as a discipline,engineering is gender- (or race- or color- or…) blind, that it is a genuine meritocracy.

However, research has shown that women often do morewriting during these projects, and that their writing labor is unrecognized or undervalued,particularly when the technical work is viewed as more essential. In this paper, we examine theresults of a study focused on the
and uncomfortable material cultures that keep thosealready on the margins outside of the technological landscape. This simple activity brings light tohow normalized power relations in technology cultures might be further problematized in theengineering classroom, and begs further exploration into how such ideas might travel fromfeminist hacker collectives and OSH groups to the classroom setting.Another shared and informative dynamic is that of collaboration and community-building. Forthe engineering education researchers, the ability to push research forward and continue workingin liminal spaces was often contingent on finding supportive networks, organizations, andcolleagues. This reflects similar organizing strategies identified by feminist

Engineering Education, 2014 Faculty of Practice: Female Faculty Boundary Spanners Offering & Gaining PerspectiveAbstract Universities seem to be reviving their interest in engaging industrial concerns and newlyspecialized fields of study. Among engineering schools, there is an increased dialogue aroundthe desire for greater connections with industry with the goal of seeking richer understanding ofactual engineering practice. In the classroom, pedagogies of engagement and active learningoften demand “in context” learning scenarios to provide students with authentic engineeringexperiences guided by those experienced in education. This quest for collaboration andauthenticity is also seen in calls for funding
