This panel developed from an organic conversation between an art historian and a marine social scientist about how offering a single definition for justice and equity is impossible. The lack of a concrete definition is a challenge for enacting equity and justice, and yet it is also necessary for enabling communities to define their own needs. In this panel, we explore the multiple working definitions of justice in our research and teaching. This panel brings together scholars from various disciplines at Duke University to explore approaches and challenges to defining and fostering equity. How does one define justice and equity from one's discipline and its methods? What is the operational definition of justice and equity you use in scholarly practices of research and teaching? What challenges and debates are scholars grappling with in one's discipline around equity and justice? We aim to create a space for interdisciplinary conversations about shared challenges and opportunities in advancing equity and justice.
