Recent work in the field asks us to consider engineers as key agents in producing human relationships to environments (Vaughn 2022, Reddy 2023), but also points out that engineering is a field in which notions of responsibility and agency are changing (Smith 2021).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">With this panel, we invite anthropologists whose work deals with engineers and engineering, broadly defined, to consider the practices of engineering. We ask: What conceptual and social boundarymaking does the field of engineering depend on? What boundaries does engineering break or otherwise transgress? How might engineers work in and through this professional category, and with what material and social effects?</p></div></div></blockquote><br>Hope to reconnect with you all in Toronto!</div><div><br></div><div>Sarah </div><div><br></div><div>Sarah Appelhans </div><div>Postdoctoral Research Associate </div><div>Bucknell University </div></body></html>
