Centering Care and Affect in Computing Education

Sat, April 13, 3:05 to 4:35pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin 11

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session expands and deepens the ongoing conversations in the Learning Sciences that seek to foreground the fundamentally affective, ethical and political nature of learning, by illustrating the multidimensionality of care in computing (and STEM) education, ranging from early childhood to post-secondary learners, both in-school and out-of-school contexts. In addition to foregrounding the socio-material and socio-technical dimensions of care, the papers also foreground the affective, political, historical and moral dimensions of challenging and dis/orienting the epistemic and symbolic violence faced by historically marginalized learners and teachers interacting with code that is entrenched in imperial and colonial ideologies.
