Houston and the Permanence of Segregation
Rage-ography
Feminist studies scholars and those in related critical studies traditions have long encountered resistance arising from STEM disciplines and capitalist logics on our campuses and in the wider public discourse. The struggles to establish and preserve feminist studies and ethnic studies programs over the past five decades remind us that the present pandemonium has historical roots that can be traced, not only to identify patterns instructive for u…

Engineering Improvement
The list of engineering "Grand Challenges" lately developed by the National Academy of Engineering enters a long historical tradition of such epically scaled to-do lists, dating back to the profession's U.S. origins in the mid-19th century. The mission statements, codes of ethics, and, later, lists of so-called grand challenges that have issued from engineering societies have served the dual function of directing engineers' work and supporting pa…
The Uses of Context
The Uses of ContextSteen Hyldgaard Christensen, Bernard Delahousse, and Martin Meganck, eds., Engineering in Context Amy E. Slaton (bio) This lengthy collection (Engineering in Context. Aarhus, Denmark: Academica, 2009. Pp. 502.

Suitable for Framing
Simon Cole finished writing Suspect Identities: A History of Fingerprinting and Criminal Identification (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2001; 369 pp., $35) before the terrorist attacks of 11 September and the spate of highly publicized child abductions in America, both of which have made fingerprinting and other identification technologies extremely topical in the last year. But he most certainly understood the courtroom use of finge…
As Near as Practicable
In 1906, Anson Marston, dean of engineering at Iowa State College, asserting that a new six-year degree program in his division ranked on a par with the college's curricula in law and medicine, claimed for his intellectual progeny membership in "a great learned profession." In the same year Charles Dudley, the prominent industrial chemist, exhorted engineering instructors to avoid overemphasizing "accumulated information" in their teaching to the…
