Job Description
The Levitt Center invites students to apply to the Fall 2025 Justice Lab. The Lab is a semester-long opportunity where students take a set of four parallel courses that combine mutually reinforcing academic and experiential learning around the broad theme of justice. All the instructors in the Lab work together to coordinate syllabi and assignments and to provide students in the Lab with an integrated interdisciplinary understanding of the topic.
For next semesters Justice Lab Profs. Kwabena Edusei Aaron Strong Jeffrey Cross and Catherine Chen will teach four connected courses in which students will study the relationship between justice and the renewable energy transition from both a local and global perspective.
Professor Edusei will teach a course on the ethics of renewable energy examining and applying ethical frameworks related to energy global supply chains and the renewable energy transition. Professor Cross will teach an environmental economics course that focuses on household behavior and decision-making around energy choices (this course does not count toward the Economics concentration). Professor Chens course examines how to understand decision-making in public policy with a focus on energy topics. Professor Strong will teach an experiential course focused on engaging communities of practice around the Clinton area in conversations around climate change and energy transition.
There are no prerequisites for any of these four courses. The Justice Lab schedule of these four courses is akin to an ordinary semesters schedule. This means that student-athletes will be able to get to practice and students can work out schedules for on-campus jobs.
This Justice Lab will also engage directly in collective field trip experiences studying real world energy decision making in New York State. This will include working with regulators in Albany meeting with activist groups site visits to renewable energy installations and developing and interpreting public polling data about energy policy with residents of Central New York. We are also exploring the possibility of an optional international or domestic field trip in November 2025.
If you have questions about the Lab please email us at and you can contact the professors directly as well. Please note that the Justice Lab will involve several field trips. You can find the course schedule here for Fall 2025.
Enrollment in the program is limited. Applications to the Justice Lab are open to all students.
