Disrupting Anti-Blackness While Making Room for Black Girls and Women in CS and Tech
SIGCSE 2022: Proceedings of the 53rd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education V. 2Our current moment, where our global public health, race, and educational crises are converging, requires us to engage in a deep interrogation of our computer science (CS) and tech communities into the ways we uphold anti-Blackness. The increased ...
