Collaborative Research: EAGER: Intersectional Computing

奥本大学和佛罗里达州立大学将合作开发一系列研讨会，以吸引扩大参与计算(BPC)联盟的成员以及黑人、拉丁裔和美国原住民女研究生建立一个计算机学科支持社区。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，在所有学位水平上的代表性都明显低于这些群体在美国人口中的代表性。虽然以前的工作已经倡导了招生和准备的新方法，但专门关注有色人种女性及其在计算机领域的生活经验的研究较少。交叉重点很重要，因为当按照单一的种族或性别轴心设计和分析干预措施时，不能充分满足有色人种妇女的需要。与BPC联盟合作，该项目将朝着建立一个更具包容性和可操作性的研究议程迈出一步，重点关注有色人种妇女，特别是计算机领域的美洲原住民、拉丁裔和黑人妇女。该项目活动将集中有色人种妇女在计算方面的生活经验，并重新想象在BPC-A内部和跨BPC-A的努力，同时围绕有色人种妇女建立一个可行的研究议程。BPC联盟处于独特的地位，可以整合适当的框架、方法和方法来大规模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，以吸引BPC联盟的成员和黑人、拉丁裔和美洲原住民女性研究生在计算机领域建立一个支持社区。由此产生的跨部门研究议程将成为更大的计算社区的资源，以每个BPC联盟中的黑人、拉丁裔和土著女性以及注册美国计算机学位课程的女性研究生的生活经历为中心。项目活动将促进思想和视角的多样性，将(1)产生对有色人种妇女经历的深入知识；(2)探索美洲原住民、拉丁裔和黑人妇女群体在计算机方面的异同；(3)对不同有色人种妇女群体蓬勃发展的条件进行分析；以及(4)检查美国原住民、拉丁裔和黑人妇女在计算机方面的发展轨迹。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
