Below are resources about three broad topics: community rights in community-engaged research, critical perspectives on the engineering profession’s relationship with ‘the public,’ and science labs with an explicit community-centered commitment. Our list is incomplete. We would appreciate your suggestions and critiques. We will, of course, credit you for your contributions. Thank you!
