归属感是追求和坚持计算的关键。这也是妇女和黑人在计算机领域代表性低的原因之一。研究试图理解为什么这些代表性不足的群体觉得他们不属于计算。这些倡议倾向于分别分析种族和性别，好像人们分别经历这些方面的身份。对于那些寻求在计算机领域归属的黑人女性来说，这些分析是有问题的。黑人女性不仅仅是“女性加上肤色，或者黑人加上性别”。他们的种族和性别的交叉点为他们带来了独特的经历。因此，只关注妇女经历或黑人经历的分析忽略了一个人既是妇女又是黑人所产生的许多细微差别。本文是对计算中“归属意味着什么”的探索。通过交叉透镜分析黑人妇女的多重身份，我们表明，大多数研究黑人或妇女是不包括黑人妇女的独特观点。我们在计算教育研究中发现了一个没有解决交叉性的差距。
A sense of belonging is key to pursuing and persisting in computing. It is also one of the reasons for the low representation of women and Black people in computing. Research has attempted to understand why these underrepresented groups feel like they do not belong in computing. These initiatives tend to analyze race and gender separately as if people experience these aspects of identity separately. For Black women who are seeking to belong in computing, these sorts of analyses are problematic. Black women are not just “women plus color, or Black plus gender” [1]. Intersections of their race and gender yield unique experiences for them. Thus, analyses that only focus on women’s experiences or Blacks’ experiences leaves out the many nuances that result from one being both a woman and Black. This paper is an exploration of “what it means to belong” in computing. By analyzing Black womens multiple identities through an intersectional lens, we show that most research for Black people or women is not inclusive of Black womens unique perspectives. We make visible a gap in computing education research that does not address intersectionality.
