Please join us for a beginning of quarter social hour. In addition to a chance to celebrate the new academic year and enjoy each other’s company, we will welcome new members to our community, and welcoming back others.
This will be a great chance for everyone to meet and foster emerging collaborations! Attendees are highly encouraged to bring and share their objects of study as it is a fun and helpful way to find intersecting areas of interest. Some previous objects shared have been: soil samples, a piece of the Berlin wall, bamboo, newly launched books, a stick, sugar, human blood, a human liver, and food.
Faculty or students interested in science and justice who want to learn more about SJRC collaborative projects, the Training Program seminar* offered in Winter 2022, or would like to affiliate with Science & Justice are highly encouraged to join us.
*The Science & Justice: Experiments in Collaboration seminar is the introductory course in the training program. The course draws together masters, early career PhD students and faculty from across all five Divisions. Fostering experimental and innovative practices for working together, this class offers a unique opportunity for graduate students from engineering, the natural sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, and the arts to learn to labor together to understand and address critical issues. The seminar is cross-listed in multiple departments, including Sociology, Anthropology, Feminist Studies and Biomolecular Engineering and will be offered Winter 2022 and taught by medical anthropologist James Doucet-Battle (Professor of Sociology).
