The Multiple Dimensions of Equity: Exploring a Computer Science for All Initiative Through Different Lenses

Thu, May 4, 9:45 to 11:15am CDT (9:45 to 11:15am CDT), Division C Virtual Sessions, Division C - Section 1e: Engineering and Computer Science Virtual Paper Room

Session Type: Virtual Symposium

Abstract

This symposium brings together a diverse group of district leaders and researchers who interrogate the notion of equity in a “computer science for all” initiative. Doing so, we push the boundaries of traditional analyses to focus on intersectionalities in access, participation, and experiences. This includes exploring equity in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, and (dis)abilities, as well as the perspectives of teachers and practitioners charged with ensuring all students experience equitable computer science. The papers and panel discussion explores what it means to offer equitable CS education, different perspectives on how equity should be measured, and how equity in access and participation is experienced differently by students with different social, cultural, and academic identities.
