Episode 9: Allyship in Action: Engineering Change with Modern Figures Artwork

Engineering Change Podcast

Engineering Change is the podcast designed to help REDEFINE engineering as we know it by: RE-imaging who we see as engineers and what we see as engineering, DE-siloing academic programs and problem solving, and FINE-tuning culture and climate using best practices for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) so people from all backgrounds and identities can succeed. It's about being just as intentional with JEDI as we are with solving any other problems in engineering; applying a carefully planned, iterative process that includes the stakeholders from problematization through ideation, evaluation and ultimately, selecting the best solutions. Each episode leaves the audience with strategies you can put into practice wherever you are in the process of ENGINEERING CHANGE.

Episode 9: Allyship in Action: Engineering Change with Modern Figures

September 09, 2020 • Dr. Yvette E. Pearson • Season 1 • Episode 9

This is the second of three (3) special episodes in which I joined forces with my colleagues Dr. Jeremy Waisome and Dr. Kyla McMullen at Modern Figures Podcast in Summer 2020. In this episode, we discuss the dos and don'ts of allyship with three women who have been strong allies for equity and inclusion for underrepresented people of color, women, and persons with disabilities in STEM for years. Our guests are: Dr. Amy E. Slaton, Professor of History at Drexel University; Dr. Colleen Lewis, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign; and Dr. Claire Horner-Devine, Founder of Counterspace Consulting.
