black in engineering

In this episode, we take a journey through Seasons 1 and 2, revisiting some of the many amazing moments we had with guests during our first year.   We went back to Episode 6 in Season 1 where we talked with undergraduate mechanical engineering student, Javian Pierson about our responsibility to support, mentor, and champion others. From Season 2, we revisited Episode 13 with Dr. Ann Gulley, where we discussed the need for diverse perspectives in standard setting. And from Episode 12 with BlackInEngineering.org, we delve into Dr. Cullen Buie's statement that failure to be inclusive in design and decision-making is literally life or death. 

We had a real-time phone call with one of the guests to get an update as we recorded this episode. Check it out to find out who it was and where they are now!

This episode is lagniappe (a little something extra) from Episode 12. In this conversation, Dr. Carlotta Berry, Dr. Audrey Bowden, and Dr. Cullen Bowie share insights from their experiences navigating the research funding and publication landscape as early career faculty. If you have ever wondered how folks get a foot in the door to get their first grants and how they amass publication numbers, you'll know after this.

The year 2020 has been unprecedented in a number of ways. Systemic racism has come to the forefront of society with global outcries for justice rarely seen, especially in recent years. Couple that with a pandemic that has adversely impacted millions globally - in terms of illnesses, deaths, job losses, education, and so much more - it's no wonder why so many people are #OVER2020.

This episode is a conversation with Dr. Carlotta Berry, a co-founder of BlackinEngineering.org,  and Dr. Audrey Bowden and Dr. Cullen Buie, two faculty members who led the development of the group's Call to Action for becoming an anti-racist university. We discuss many of the "hows" and "whys" of change and the life or death imperative for equity and inclusion in engineering research and problem solving, especially as related to Covid-19 and other global challenges.
