Broadening participation in all of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields as well as in computing, which is critical to all of the STEM fields, is a national challenge. Achieving gender equity in computing is one of the more pressing challenges in the broadening participation effort because of the precipitous decline in the proportion of women earning degrees in computing over the last 20 years. This workshop will bring together thought leaders to share experiences in an effort to understand the issues faced by black women in computing. Black women, as a group, face acute underrepresentation in computing. Their challenges rest at the intersection of race and gender in the larger broadening participation effort. The goals of this workshop are to: 1) explore the intersectional experiences (race and gender) of black women in CS; and 2) formulate strategies and a plan of action to address the lack of awareness and action around this intersectionality. The workshop addresses these goals by featuring break-out sessions that will enable the collection of rich, qualitative information about the experiences of black women in computing, as well as capture best practices for supporting this population. The data and report from the workshop will inform the STEM+C research community on the specific factors associated with women of color in computing.

扩大对所有科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域以及对所有STEM领域至关重要的计算领域的参与是一项国家挑战。在扩大参与的努力中，实现计算领域的性别平等是一个更紧迫的挑战，因为在过去20年中，获得计算学位的妇女比例急剧下降。本次研讨会将汇集思想领袖分享经验，努力了解黑人妇女在计算方面面临的问题。黑人妇女作为一个群体，在计算机领域的代表性严重不足。在更大范围的参与努力中，他们面临的挑战是种族和性别的交叉问题。该讲习班的目标是：1）探讨黑人妇女在CS中的交叉经验（种族和性别）; 2）制定战略和行动计划，以解决围绕这种交叉性缺乏认识和行动的问题。研讨会通过分组会议来解决这些目标，这些会议将收集有关黑人妇女在计算方面的经验的丰富的定性信息，并捕捉支持这一人群的最佳实践。研讨会的数据和报告将为STEM+C研究社区提供有关计算中与有色人种女性相关的具体因素的信息。
