This project will conduct a two-day workshop examining black girls' and women's mathematics and computing identities. The goals of the workshop are to 1) explore the intersectional experiences of black girls and women in math and computer science (CS), 2) begin to understand how math and CS identities relate and inform each other, 3) start understanding factors that lead black women to study math and CS in college, and 4) establish a more extensive research agenda around these issues. The workshop will bring together thought leaders to examine the trajectories of success for black girls and women in mathematics and CS. The results of this workshop will inform the national dialogue in support of broadening participation in both computing and mathematics.The contributions of the workshop address the need to increase the diversity of ideas and perspectives in computer science and mathematics, particularly for black women. This workshop will go beyond simply adding to the discourse for the need to increase diversity in these disciplines by 1) actively investigating research to differentiate the experiences of black women from other groups in computing and mathematics, 2) providing a critical analysis of the conditions under which black girls and women thrive, 3) actively investigating the relationship between computer science and mathematics through both curricular and experiential lenses, and 4) engaging black girls and women to articulate the experiences that differentiate them from other groups in computing and mathematics. The organizers will create and distribute an article describing the workshop, its enactment and the findings that emerge from the discussion and interaction. They will also develop a videography of black girls and women sharing how their personal experiences affect their math and CS identities as well as their interest and persistence in these fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将举办为期两天的研讨会，研究黑人女孩和妇女的数学和计算身份。研讨会的目标是1）探索黑人女孩和妇女在数学和计算机科学（CS）的交叉经验，2）开始了解数学和CS身份如何相互关联和相互通知，3）开始了解导致黑人妇女在大学学习数学和CS的因素，以及4）围绕这些问题建立更广泛的研究议程。研讨会将汇集思想领袖，研究黑人女孩和妇女在数学和计算机科学方面的成功轨迹。该讲习班的成果将为支持扩大计算机和数学参与的全国对话提供信息，讲习班的贡献涉及需要增加计算机科学和数学方面的思想和观点的多样性，特别是对黑人妇女而言。本次研讨会将不仅仅是增加这些学科的多样性的必要性的话语，1）积极调查研究，以区分黑人妇女在计算和数学方面的经验，2）对黑人女孩和妇女茁壮成长的条件进行批判性分析，3）通过课程和经验两个镜头积极调查计算机科学和数学之间的关系，4）让黑人女孩和妇女参与进来，阐述她们在计算和数学方面与其他群体不同的经历。组织者将撰写并分发一篇文章，介绍讲习班、讲习班的实施情况以及讨论和互动中得出的结论。他们还将开发一个黑人女孩和妇女分享他们的个人经历如何影响他们的数学和CS身份以及他们的兴趣和坚持在这些领域的录像。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响力审查标准进行评估的支持。
