Description:
Panel discussion to focus on how to become an effective ally as a part of a separate minority group within engineering. Engineers who have experienced discrimination have unique opportunities to effectively advocate for others. These opportunities will be discussed, along with the nuanced limitations to extrapolating from one person’s experiences with discrimination, even within their own communities when intersectionality is considered. We expect to share actionable suggestions that our various minority communities can use in their careers to help AIChE realize the goals of the IDEAL Statement for all members.
