Special Session: Inhibition to Antiracist Progress – Confronting the Intersection of Shame and Racism in Engineering Education

In this special session, we invite participants to identify how they might be interacting with cultures of anti-Blackness of engineering education environments through the potent experience of racial shame. The facilitators, informed by the respective backgrounds in anti-racism and professional shame, guide the participants through an interactive series of activities that inspire reflective thinking and, more importantly, a commitment to act to bolster justice and equity in engineering education cultures.
