The Drexel University Center for Science, Technology, and Society proudly presents Emily York, associate professor at James Madison University, for a discussion of The Science of Repair, a transformative account of the role science can play in combatting injustice by Professor Gwen Ottinger. The Science of Repair chronicles people deploying research to deepen solidarity, accountability, and hope, and offers guidance for conducting reparative science.

“The Science of Repair is not just a timely defense of a justice-attuned research enterprise, but also an important contribution to the age- old efforts to square knowledge and action. Read this book and you may think and act differently.”

– David Guston, Arizona State University
