Anybody know how I can maintain professional registration with the Engineering Council if I decide to leave the IET?
Roy Bowdler:
….. I’m not sure there is any proper definition of [woke"],
A common meaning is to be alert to injustice and discrimination in society, especially racism. It comes originally from US concerns about racism in society.
Andy has noted something similar in another thread. I would consider myself alert to injustice and discrimination in society, manifestations of racism included. I would hope that we all are, but it may be that some of us are not.
Much of the debate about the term concerns what counts as racism and why. We don't necessarily have to go there (especially in some of its US academic manifestations). There is some occasionally entertaining commentary at https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/nov/09/woke-word-meaning-definition-progressive

We're about to take you to the IET registration website. Don't worry though, you'll be sent straight back to the community after completing the registration.
