Popis: We are three Black engineering educators in South Africa who are inspired by the work of Ezekiel Dixon-Román and Eve Tuck. We critique several so-called “universal truths” that are apparent in engineering education from a posthumanist standpoint and focus on the subjectification of Black engineering academics. We draw a cartography of engineering education, to show how subjectivities are influenced by powerful agencies. The cartography gives an idea of the potestas that is exerted upon educators as a result of historical forces. We then give an idea of the potentia that is possible through micro-instances of activism.
