Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Joachim Walther's research explores the social and psychological dimensions of engineering education, with a particular focus on issues of identity, shame, and inclusion. His work investigates how societal narratives and theoretical frameworks, such as intersectionality and liberatory pedagogy, shape the experiences of undergraduate engineering students, particularly white males facing threats to their professional identities. Walther has published on the social construction of professional shame and its role as a mechanism for marginalization within engineering education.

Beyond professional identity, Walther's research also touches upon pedagogical shifts in engineering education, including the transition to online experimentation in electrical and computer engineering courses. He has also examined the role of sustainable design practitioners in education and the importance of empathy instruction through propagation paradigms. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 23 and over 2,600 citations, with 100 total publications, indicating a significant body of work in his field. He collaborates with other faculty members at Harding University Main Campus, including Mackenzie Sharbine and Grant Countess, and leads a research group.
