Scientists and engineers have helped empower the environmental justice (EJ) movement. But how has their participation changed their own scientific and engineering identities? A workshop this weekend will explore the matter.

This website provides further information about the workshop, including a more substantive overview and a list of participants. For anyone in the Charlottesville area, note that we're hosting a public reception for the event on Friday at 5:00 pm. Stop by, have some spinach dip, talk about transformations in science and engineering that will allow scientists and engineers to contribute more fully to an environmentally sustainable and just future.
