👀👀Open rank faculty position in my dept @ Mines! Must have an established scholarly record connecting engineering to its social contexts, with explicit attention to advancing the social good. PhD in engineering, eng ed or STS @INESweb_org @Phil_Engineer https://t.co/SrCU2kCySq

Writing this book was a labor of love and resistance. It came from my life in war and my years of learning how to resist with love and life a heartless enemy driven by hate and hubris. I spent the two decades after 2006 with families in their homes in frontline villages in South

Best piece of journalism I've read all year - engineer's son turned labor organizer turned coal miner turned mining engineer using practical knowledge + engineering to mitigate roof failures from inside the federal bureaucracy. @INESweb_org @Phil_Engineer https://t.co/RvtfPVFpxm

Throwback to the two journal special issues the conference generated! The first in Energy Research & Social Science: https://t.co/F3sW4f2BDY

[Jessica M Smith (blusky same) @ThatMinesGirl]

A wonderful special issue including articles on engineering and activism, apolitical humanities & social science education, and the human brain project.

[Engineering Studies Journal @EngrStudies]

Latest, a special issue on Engineers' boundary work has been published!

Amen! Frustration with how rural folks and miners are portrayed by academics is also what inspired my dissertation on Wyoming miners. "“Who’s going to trust the experts when that’s what the experts have to say about you?” https://t.co/sE3j9iNfQz

Thank you @AlessandroRippa and @zeynepouz for an energizing workshop with wonderful, thoughtful people!

In other words, the article encourages us to see gender differences in spatial ability not as an objective fact or deficiency that engineering educators need to work to rectify, but as an artifact of how spatial ability itself is conceptualized and measured.

[Jessica M Smith (blusky same) @ThatMinesGirl]

Bartlett shows how a dominant test of spatial ability in engineering education was “initially promoted because of its ability to demonstrate ‘gender differences in spatial ability’ rather than its ability to accurately measure a spatial construct.”

[Engineering Studies Journal @EngrStudies]

The third article, Kristin A. Bartlett's critical understanding of PSVT:R reveals gender biases in engineering education. A thought-provoking read that challenges norms.

They place their hopes on "high road labor policies (e.g., local hiring, domestic content, and prevailing wage requirements)" and then insinuate that people have different preferences for "periodic versus sustained employment."

[Jessica M Smith (blusky same) @ThatMinesGirl]

Intrigued by a prediction that net zero will "offset" fossil fuel job losses, tho I wish they had been more clear about changes in full-time vs temporary work. https://t.co/Fcok8FxjDg

[Jessica M Smith (blusky same) @ThatMinesGirl]

From what I observe and they also find, most of these jobs are construction, which are almost always temporary & mobile.
