了解如何提高女性在计算机领域的参与度和持续坚持是一个长期存在的问题。本文探讨了如何通过狭窄的学科实践框架或更广泛的社会实践框架来定义计算参与。如何定义对计算的参与对于我们对女性对计算的坚持的理解至关重要。本文的数据来自对 64 名年轻女性的深入、定性访谈，这些女性在高中时通过研究 NCWIT 的计算机愿望奖而表达了对计算机的兴趣。对访谈的分析表明，从学科角度定义对计算机的参与不适当地禁止了一些女性成为计算机社区的正式成员。调查结果表明，一些自我认同于计算机社区的女性并未得到计算机社区其他成员的完全认可。
Understanding how to increase participation and continued persistence of women in computing is a perennial problem. This paper explores the ways in which participation in computing can be defined either by a narrow disciplinary practice framework or a more expansive social practice framework. How participation in computing is defined is consequential regarding our understanding of women's persistence in computing. The data for this paper come from 64 in-depth, qualitative interviews with young women who in high school expressed interest in computing by looking into NCWIT's Aspirations in Computing Award. Analyses of the interviews show that defining participation in computing from a disciplinary perspective unduly prohibits some women from full membership in computing communities. Findings show that some women who self-identify with the computing community are not fully recognized by other members of the computing community.
