Frontmatter -- Foreword -- Contents -- List of contributing authors -- Introduction -- Chapter 1 Artemisia annua, a cost-effective sustainable therapeutic for the masses and the political challenges for its implementation -- Chapter 2 Researching health impact disparities among women at the Agbogbloshie e-waste site -- Chapter 3 Reframing professional practice, technical competency, and good intentions: assessment and reflection tools for ethical engagement in student STEM training -- Chapter 4 The Road Less Travelled: development engineering with vulnerable communities through NGOs -- Chapter 5 Rapid Assessment Procedure as a tool for stakeholder needs analysis in development engineering projects -- Chapter 6 Engineered waste management systems and environmental injustice in Eastern North Carolina: power, pollution, and innovation -- Chapter 7 Integrative collaborative design of research-based, climate-change resilience engineering education: insights from México–Lerma–Cutzamala hydrological region -- Chapter 8 Illustrating climate-change resilience engineering: Conceptual design of water supply and wastewater/stormwater system for the México–Lerma– Cutzamala hydrological region -- Chapter 9 Designing an activated carbon adsorption column to mitigate mercury pollution from artisanal and small-scale mining in Ghana -- Chapter 10 Medical device development and implementation in low-to-middle income countries: the importance of product specifications and regulatory considerations -- Chapter 11 Solar Decathlon Africa–Team Oculus experience: realizing a global sustainable solar house -- Chapter 12 Arboreal homes -- Index
Summary: Science and technology plays a critical role, but not the only role, in realizing the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. Not only must we observe the cultural context of scientific and technological interventions, we must respect and support the innovative capacity of those with different backgrounds. To help understand these concerns, this book puts forth the concept of generative justice in science and technology for development. This book presents community case studies concerning technological interventions in global health, the environment, agriculture, and their ethics. Discusses issues around science, technology, and development in the Global South. Describes the redesign of lab-inspired prototypes after field testing with project partners. Identifies basic science/engineering principles utilized in development solutions.
