Each of the three articles in this issue can be seen to highlight a different dimension of the concept of praxis. Muscat emphasises action, Baillie and Levine exemplify the use of theory as a basis for unpacking dominant paradigms and assumptions, and Cumming-Potvin and Currie emphasise critical reflection. Taken together, these articles provide a robust foundation for understanding the nature of praxis as engineers engage with issues of social justice and peace.
