Session 4 (Wednesday)

usman — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:03:13 +0000

I’m looking forward to Donna and Katy’s workshop. They’ve started out with talking about Ursula Franklin and scrupling (More here).

They would like the ESJP attendees to scruple about social justice. They asked the audience what experiences do you draw on for your activism, why, and what kinds of actions will you take in the future?

After a brief discussion, they invited attendees to brainstorm action the ESJP collective can take and how we would do that.

ESJP Grad Audio Documentary

usman — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 03:01:29 +0000

Usman Mushtaq (MSc 2010, Civil Engineering), presents his graduate research, which looks critically at the profession of engineering and our technology. Using his life story, Usman connects the values of technology and how a technology is designed with the oppression of people. This is followed by a discussion with Dr. Jonathan VanderSteen (University of Guelph), Syed Imran Ali (PhD Candidate, University of Guelph), and Amy Buitenhuis (Queen’s University) on how non-oppressive technology may be designed in an inclusive manner, so that it is socially just.

The documentary can be listened here:
