Science & Justice brings together faculty and graduate students from all five academic divisions on the UC Santa Cruz campus to collaboratively address common problems. As science and technology increasingly shape our lives, the Science & Justice community generates modes of inquiry and empirically rigorous research that can enable a diversity of livable technoscientific worlds. To this end, over the course of the last six years, the University of California Santa Cruz has formed an innovative initiative in Science & Justice funded by the University and the U.S. National Science Foundation that is increasingly recognized nationally and internationally for its leading role in developing these new forms of inquiry and action at the intersection of science and society. The initiative builds on the UCSC campus’ historic commitments to social justice and strengths in science studies and interdisciplinary research.
