WPI Professors Robert Krueger (SSPS), Laureen Elgert (SSPS) and Yunus Doğan Telliel (HUA) along with PhD candidate Zahra Zarei Ardestani (SSPS) will be our featured authors in Gordon Library’s next event in For a Change - our series of conversations with WPI authors. This year’s series features books that challenge us to change how we think, and the choices we make.
Please join us for our first D Term author conversation on Thursday, March 26 at 1 pm in the Gordon Library Conference Room (303). We are excited to feature a panel conversation about Decentering Science & Technology in Global Development: Co-Designing for Community Sustainability (2026, De Gruyter) led by the book’s editor and co-author, Prof. Krueger, and joined several co-authors featured in the book: Prof. Elgert (Chapter 2), Prof. Telliel (Ch. 3, 4 & 8) and PhD candidate Zahra Zarei Ardestani (Ch. 8). This book is Volume 6 in the Integrated Global STEM series, which is also co-edited by Prof. Krueger.
Whether you are an engineer involved in technology for society projects or a social scientist/policy maker who seeks to push the limits of technology in the public interest, be sure not to miss this thoughtful and important discussion.
We look forward to your joining us for this exciting program – light refreshments will be served!
Please note that the Gordon Library’s elevator remains out of service; visitors who wish to avoid using the stairs are welcome to let us know at library@wpi.edu so that we can invite you to join us via Zoom.
