Program Events

Once a week, E.E. Just community members meet with the Graduate Fellows to discuss ideas encountered in their coursework, research, and internships.

The Jam Sessions are a time for community study hall, raising questions related to STEM subjects and having discussions. There may be informal expository presentations (e.g., covering a concept learned in class) or students could focus on a research project. The general discussion time provides Undergraduate Fellows and other E.E. Just community members with the opportunity to form breakout groups that could delve more deeply into coursework under the guidance of our Graduate Fellows.

The E.E. Just Science Forum features talks by Dartmouth faculty and/or by visiting scientists over dinner. This is a great opportunity for our fellows and community members to learn more about exciting ideas in STEM and to network with scientists working at the forefront of their fields. 

The purpose of our Write-on-Site workshop is to carve out dedicated time and space for researchers to focus on their projects and connect with a broader community of scientists. Each session consists of three one-hour blocks: 50 minutes of writing/work followed by a 10-minute break. The session is designed to help faculty and graduate students in the E.E. Just STEM Community further their scholarly work while building community.  Projects typically inlcude writing up a research article, working on a grant/fellowship proposal, writing a textbook, or any other scholarly output. Weekly during term time.

The lives and legacies of trailblazing BIPOC scientists such as Ernest Everett Just remind us that the pursuit of knowledge and the act of knowing are political acts that animate our moral frameworks and value systems, while broadening our vision of who the knowledge seekers can be. Just Science is a public lecture series of the E.E. Just Program that illuminates the intersection between the expansion of scientific understanding and the pursuit of notions of justice, including social justice, environmental justice, educational justice and racial justice. 

Every few years a group of highly acclaimed scientists from academia and industry is invited to Dartmouth to speak at the E.E. Just Symposium. The Symposium provides E.E. Just Fellows and members of the Dartmouth Community with a unique opportunity to interact with top scholars and visionaries from across the spectrum.
