Special session — What should a course reader on gender and engineering include? An unconference discussion

To build upon the community that has formed at FIE interested in discussing feminist approaches to engineering education, we will hold a special session discussion oriented around proposing a textbook that comprehensively explores the topic of gender and engineering. Through the organization of an “unconference” session discussion will include opportunity to discuss the audience and scope of such a proposed book, as well as explore the advantages and challenges of some of the existing texts on the market. The authors of this special session commit to turning the results of this discussion into a book prospectus to be distributed to appropriate publishers who might be interested in supporting such a book.
