In The Science of Repair, Gwen Ottinger clarifies the role that research plays in combatting injustice and how it can be reparative. Examining the thirty-year history of communities' efforts to measure oil refinery emissions in the air they breathe, the author chronicles compelling ethnographies that have made restorative EJ possible. Taken together, these stories present innovative ideas for how researchers can pursue new knowledge and social justice in more integrated and effective ways. The book also discusses the shortcomings of EJ efforts, urging justice-conscious researchers to experiment with new strategies for making their science more fully reparative.
