Hauntings Across the Divide: Transdisciplinary Activism, Dualisms, and the Ghosts of Racism in Engineering and Humanities Education

Abstract: In this paper, we report on an intervention across continents and disciplines that brought together differently positioned students in South Africa and the USA. A collaboration between our classes—an introductory Geographic Information Systems (GIS) class in South Africa and a composition class in the United States—was facilitated and investigated by us. The point of departure of the intervention was to service socially just and anti-racist pedagogies through experimentation. Drawing on posthumanist, feminist,… Show more

“…In this section, we draw a cartography of engineering education in South Africa, focusing on geomatics and electrical engineering. Motala and Stewart (2021) draw a cartography of geomatics education in South Africa, and show how early geomatics education was geared toward Whiteness and maleness. This education benefited directly from the subjugation of Black and female subjects and contributed to the degradation of the natural environment in the name of “progress.” In this article, we build on the cartography by adding and analyzing electrical engineering education.…”

“…Les approches orientées vers la justice qui sont adoptées dans les articles publiés sous cette thématique spéciale en réponse à la dynamique actuelle sont variées et comprennent une focalisation sur les programmes d'études et la pédagogie, des initiatives qui mettent en valeur l'équité et l'inclusion, et des mesures conceptuelles pour briser le cycle du racisme anti-noir. De plus, s'inscrivant dans le cadre général mettant l'accent sur le combat contre le racisme anti-noir, les articles avancent plusieurs orientations théoriques, dont la « Théorie critique de la race» (Burke et al, 2021; la clarté politique (Madkins et Morton, 2021); la « hantologie» (Motala et Stewart, 2021); et la « théorie critique concernant les Noirs» (Jones et Melo, 2021). Cette multitude de perspectives et d'approches est importante -le racisme anti-noir apparait de manière complexe et à des niveaux multiples dans des contextes éducatifs spécifiques des domaines des sciences, des mathématiques, de la technologie et des STIM.…”

“…Ces divers engagements soulignent les aspects social, politique, et culturel des contextes situationnels issus du paysage complexe que constitue la formation en STIM. Les sens donnés aux STIM et à son enseignement sont abordés de manière à bouleverser les approches universalistes et décontextualisées qui distinguent l'épistémologie de l'ontologie et qui clament un point de vue « objectif» transcendant qui vient de nulle part (Haraway, 2003;Motala et Stewart, 2021;Vakil et Ayers, 2019).…”
