Removing Racism from Engineering | Digital Learning & Innovation

Spring 2021 Speaker Series: Contributing to positive change in the national conversation about race is a clear goal for BU. The Day of Collective Engagement in June 2020, the appointment of Professor Ibram X. Kendi, and the opening of the Center for Anti-Racist Research are all part of getting that conversation started within the University. What does this commitment look like in our classrooms? BU instructors share their strategies to building an anti-racist curriculum within their classes.

This presentation examines how one letter initiated systemic change at the world’s largest textbook publisher. The importance of inclusive language ensures that students remain engaged and stay committed to solving society’s toughest engineering problems.
