Johanna Lönngren
As an associate professor in Science and Engineering Education at Umeå University, starting 2020, Johanna Lönngren brought together, coordinated and led a team of researchers from across the globe to scope out the field of emotions in engineering education research, and to show how emotion could be better understood, theorised and researched in the field.
The result is a new community of engaged scholars who together developed – and continue to develop – a series of publications, seminars and events that are profoundly changing the conversation on engineering education, scoping out new ways of doing and being in engineering education research and practice.
Margarita Boenig-Liptsin
Assistant Professor of Ethics, Technology and Society at ETH Zurich, Margarita Boenig-Liptsin completed a Ph.D. in History of Science at Harvard University with a concurrent degree in Philosophy from the Sorbonne.
“Data-driven technologies challenge the fundamental assumptions upon which our societies are built,” she explains.
“In this time of rapid social and technological change, concepts like agency,’ ‘justice,’ and ‘representation’ are reconstituted, with real consequences for how people live”.
