Together, we will tackle difficult questions like:
- What theories, critical questions and methodologies can promote intersectional research in engineering education?
- How do current methodological decisions reproduce marginalization of underrepresented and underserved students?
- How does the nature of funding agencies influence what is done in engineering education research?
