Reconciliation + Design is a set of adaptable resources developed to enable Engineering faculty to include Indigenous reconciliation in engineering courses. In this preliminary report, former and current Indigenous students, staff, and faculty in engineering faculties across Canada took part in interviews and completed surveys in which they shared their lived experiences of being an Indigenous person in engineering. It shares perspectives, and visions for organizational cultures of inclusive and just engineering.

Pam Wolf does not accept graduate students. As such, emails requesting information about graduate studies opportunities will go unanswered.
