Donna Riley is a founding faculty member and Associate Professor in the Picker Engineering Program at Smith College, the first engineering program at a U.S. women’s college. She is committed to liberative (critical and feminist) pedagogies in engineering education as a vehicle for transformative learning and practice. She is interested in creative use of direct action methods in social justice work both within and outside of engineering. Her most recent book is Engineering and Social Justice, and she is currently working on a textbook companion for thermodynamics that addresses social justice concerns around energy in the twenty-first century. |
