Through Fall 2017, I was a Graduate Research Assistant for an NSF funded research project, titled “Engineering Dissent: Moving Political Engagement for Social Justice from the Vanguard into the Mainstream of the Engineering Profession.” This project was initiated at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Program in Environmental Design  by Prof. Shawhin Roudbari and is a collaborative study of ways spatial practitioners–architects, planners, civil and environmental engineers–engage contentious social and political issues.
