Housed on the second floor, room 231, of the Oakes Residential College at UC Santa Cruz, the SJRC provides a common space for affiliated students, faculty, Centers, Institutes, and visiting scholars.
In addition to formal Working Group events, we regularly host informal, often playful gatherings focused on current research and teaching strategies, responses to current and trending topics of concern, and the occasional field trip or writing session in the redwoods. This inclusive and interdisciplinary intellectual culture builds the Science & Justice community providing a unique opportunity for pursuing innovative research questions that push toward justice in the realm of science and technology. Find out more about projects, Working Group events and other practices for enacting science & justice.
