ESJP Grad Audio Documentary
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.

Introduction to ESJP
This website is a space for creative conversations about the intersectionalities between engineering, social justice, and peace. We ask what engineering might look like if social justice and peace were central considerations in our education and prac
tice. We are asking ourselves what we mean by social justice and peace. Join us as we explore these ideas together.
