Collaborative Research: EAGER: Intersectional Computing

奥本大学和佛罗里达州立大学将合作举办一系列研讨会，吸引“扩大计算机参与联盟”（BPC）的成员以及黑人、拉丁裔和美洲原住民女研究生，以建立一个支持计算机学科的社区。美国原住民、拉丁裔和黑人女性在计算机领域的代表性尤其不足，在所有学位级别上的代表性都明显低于这些群体在美国人口中的代表性。虽然之前的工作已经支持了新的学生招募和准备方法，但很少有研究专门关注有色人种女性和她们在计算机领域的生活经历。交叉关注很重要，因为当干预措施沿着种族或性别的单一轴设计和分析时，有色人种妇女的需求无法得到充分解决。通过与BPC联盟的合作，该项目将成为建立一个更具包容性和可操作性的研究议程的一步，重点关注有色人种女性，特别是美国原住民、拉丁裔和黑人女性。该项目活动将以有色人种女性在计算机领域的生活经历为中心，重新构想BPC-A内部和整个BPC-A的努力，同时围绕有色人种女性建立一个可操作的研究议程。BPC联盟具有独特的地位，可以整合适当的框架、方法和方法，大规模地改变有色人种女性的计算机教育。该项目将实施一系列研讨会，让BPC联盟成员和黑人、拉丁裔和美洲原住民女性研究生参与进来，建立一个支持计算机领域的社区。由此产生的交叉研究议程将成为更大的计算机社区的资源，以每个BPC联盟中的黑人，拉丁裔和土著女性以及参加美国计算机学位课程的女性研究生的生活经验为中心。促进思想和观点的多样性，项目活动将(1)产生对有色人种妇女经历的深入了解；(2)探索美洲原住民、拉丁裔和黑人女性在计算方面的异同；(3)分析不同肤色女性群体的成长条件；(4)研究美国原住民、拉丁裔和黑人女性在计算机领域的发展轨迹。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Auburn University and Florida State University will collaborate to develop a series of workshops to engage members of the Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Alliances and Black, Latina and Native American women graduate students to develop a community of support in computing disciplines. Native American, Latina, and Black women are particularly underrepresented in computing with representation at all degree levels significantly less than the representation of these groups in the U.S. population. While prior work has has championed new approaches to student recruitment and preparation, less research has specifically focused on women of color and their lived experiences in the field of computing. An intersectional focus is important because the needs of women of color cannot be adequately addressed when interventions are designed and analyzed along a single axis of race or gender. Working in collaboration with the BPC Alliances, this project will serve as a step towards establishing a more inclusive and actionable research agenda focused on women of color, specifically Native American, Latina, and Black women in the field of computing. The project activities will center the lived experiences of women of color in computing and re-imagine efforts within and across the BPC-A’s while establishing an actionable research agenda around women of color. BPC Alliances are uniquely positioned to integrate appropriate frameworks, approaches, and methodologies to transform computing education for women of color at scale, this project will implement a series of workshops to engage members of the BPC Alliances and Black, Latina and Native American women graduate students to develop a community of support in the field of computing. The resulting intersectional research agenda will be a resource to the larger computing community, centering the lived experiences of Black, Latina, and Native women within each of the BPC Alliances and women graduate students enrolled in U.S. computing degree programs. Contributing to the diversity of ideas and perspectives, the project activities will (1) generate deep knowledge of the experiences of women of color; (2) explore the similarities and differences across Native American, Latina, and Black women populations in computing; (3) provide an analysis of the conditions under which different groups of women of color thrive; and (4) examine the trajectories of Native American, Latina, and Black women populations in computing.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.
