Dr. Justin C. Major (they/them) is an Assistant Professor of Experiential Engineering Education at Rowan University, where they lead ASPIRE Lab (Advancing Student Pathways through Inequality Research in Engineering). Justin’s research focuses on low-income students, mechanisms of engineering belonging and marginalization, adverse childhood experiences, and feminist approaches to research, and connects these topics to broader understandings of student success. Justin completed their Ph.D. in Engineering Education (’22) and M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics (’21) at Purdue University, and two B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Secondary Mathematics Education at the University of Nevada, Reno (’17). Atop their education, Justin is a previous NSF Graduate Research Fellow and has won over a dozen awards for research, service, and activism related to marginalized communities, including the 2020 ASEE ERM Division Best Diversity Paper for their work on test anxiety. As a previous homeless and food-insecure student, Justin is eager to challenge and change engineering to be a pathway for socioeconomic mobility and broader systemic improvement rather than an additional barrier.
