作为教师，我们经常通过哀叹大学前教育机会分配不公或招收学生的困难来回应对计算机领域缺乏多样性的批评。我们很少向内思考我们的行为和态度如何强化了消极的计算文化。然而，正是在我们的机构、部门和教室里，我们最有潜力创造一种支持所有学生的文化。即使是改善当地文化及其所创造的氛围的微小改变，也可能有助于改善大学前教育机会分配不公的影响，并可能抵消倾向于进一步隔离计算的流失模式 [25, 30]。我们在教育机构中发展支持性文化和社区的工作也可以帮助学生培养改善科技行业文化所需的技能。在最好的情况下，我们的学生可以从错误中学习，有归属感，向同龄人学习并与同龄人一起学习，并学会减少和解决偏见。本文总结了创建高效部门文化的四个常见挑战，并针对每个挑战提供了一个总结挑战的问题以及解决该挑战的三个基于研究的技巧。这些挑战可能是跨学科的，但在计算领域迫切需要解决，以应对多样性的缺乏。
As faculty, we often respond to critiques of the lack of diversity in computing by bemoaning the unjust distribution of pre-college educational opportunities or the difficulties of recruiting students. Rarely do we turn inward to consider how our actions and attitudes reinforce a negative culture of computing. However, it is within our institutions, departments, and classrooms where we have the greatest potential for creating a culture that supports all students. Even small changes to improve our local culture and the climate that it creates could help to ameliorate the impact of the unjust distribution of pre-college educational opportunities and could counteract attrition patterns that tend toward further segregating computing [25, 30]. Our work to develop a supportive culture and community at our educational institutions can also help students develop the skills they need to improve the culture within the tech industry. In the best-case scenario, our students can learn from their mistakes, feel like they belong, learn from and with their peers, and learn to mitigate and address bias. This article summarizes four common challenges in creating a productive department culture, and for each provides a question summarizing the challenge and three research-based tips for addressing it. These challenges likely cross disciplines, but are urgently necessary to address in computing to respond to the lack of diversity.
