For those of you who are interested - Caroline Baille is a good link
for engineering and social justice efforts in the engineering design
space - she does wonderful research around the experiences of people
involved in such engineering projects in diverse communities. In
particular her research supports claims about the challenges of social
justice efforts (e.g. not damaging the community of interest) while at
the same time highlighting the strength of these efforts in helping
students learn through these activities.
There is a Engineering, Social Justice and Peace conference - http://esjp.org/esjp-conference/
At this link you'll see other links to similar programs. I encourage
you to check out the waste for life project.
