The Networked Justice satellite will provide a forum for network scientists to convene and discuss the ways that networks intersect with issues of social equity, inclusivity, and justice, and how networks can be used to promote just outcomes for marginalized populations. By centering justice in our research, we intend to raise awareness within the network science community about how networks encode, obscure, uphold, and magnify issues of justice, and develop an interdisciplinary group of scholars with the tools and knowledge necessary for intervening upon injustice in research, policy, and everyday life.
The Networked Justice satellite symposium will be held virtually on June 28th, 2021 from 8:30am – 12:30pm EST.
