Anti-Racist Bioengineering Lesson Plan: Designing Out of Self-Inquiry

Here is a written commentary and lesson plans dedicated to teaching Black high school students about bioengineering using health problems that affect their loved ones. Anyone can use this, but please notify me so I can document how this article has helped educators! Additionally, please contact us if you have barriers to accessing this article, so we can provide other options. This work provides culturally competent bioengineering curriculum to some of those most marginalized by the field.

Interdisciplinary Thesis: Lab Coat Culture and Race in Bioengineering Laboratories

This national study on the racial dynamics of bioengineering revealed how some parts of "lab coat culture" has evolved over time due to social justice pressures- for both the better and the worse. Few resources outside of this article, (if any) exist to describe these nuanced social dynamics. This work interrogates the growth of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices in the field and offers practical solutions to integrate into laboratories.

Do y'all even want a resource 3? We're debating between curating resources from other authors, linking related blog posts, or some podcasts that we recommend. Feel free to leave resource requests on our contact page!
