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 16: Soapbox - Signs, Symptoms and Diseases: Why Diversity Efforts Fail

Episode 16
Why do many diversity efforts fail? Because they are DIVERSITY efforts. Like medications that deal only with symptoms, diversity efforts only address things at the surface and don't get at the roots to deal with the diseases that cause the inequities we see in engineering education and practice.
Join me for this first "Soapbox" episode in which my co-producer and I draw upon recent events and share insights that delineate justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion along with strategies for shifting gears to focus on efforts that will lead to sustainable change.
