Jennifer M. Blaney; Theresa E. Hernandez; Annie M. Wofford; David F. Feldon – Review of Higher Education, 2025
There are currently too few computer science faculty to meet student demand, and faculty from historically minoritized groups are severely underrepresented. Expanding pathways from community colleges to PhDs is one critical avenue to both grow and diversify the computer science professoriate that has been underexplored. To gain insight into these…

Jennifer M. Blaney; David F. Feldon; Kaylee Litson – Studies in Graduate and Postdoctoral Education, 2024
Purpose: Supporting community college transfer students represents a critical strategy for broadening participation in STEM. In addition to being a racially diverse group, students who pursue STEM degrees by way of community college report frequent interests in graduate study and academic careers. Thus, supporting and expanding transfer students'…

Paula Nazario; Jean J. Ryoo; Julie Flapan; Roxana Hadad; Nicol R. Howard; Adriana Ruiz Alvarado; Rocio Mendoza; Nicole Broadnax – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2025
Research demonstrates a connection between parent perspectives and children's decisions to pursue careers in STEM (e.g. Albritton et al., 2020; Fouad et al., 2016). However, there is limited research on parents' impact on CS education advocacy. Through one-on-one parent interviews, this study found that parents engage in educational advocacy, but…

Michael Karlin; Yin-Chan Janet Liao; Conrad Oh-Young; Swati Mehta; Mahya Minaiy – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2024
Despite a growing national focus on computer science (CS) education, students with disabilities are often excluded from or not able to access high quality CS experiences and coursework. One reason for this is a lack of teachers who support students with disabilities and also hold CS knowledge and skills. Integrating CS into preservice teacher…

Yunfei Hou; Amir Ghasemkhani; Hani Aldirawi; Miranda McIntyre; Montgomery Van Wart – American Journal of Distance Education, 2024
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Computer Science and STEM-related fields were among the most resistant to online courses. This is because of a perception of the need for more hands-on instruction with labs, clinicals, field studies, etc. Additionally, many STEM students had perceptions based on limited experience of an online STEM course.…

Jean J. Ryoo; Takeria Blunt – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Culturally responsive computing (CRC), that centers sociopolitical issues and transformational uses of technology, has been described as valuable for increasing engagement with computing, especially for historically underrepresented minoritized students. But what do high school students think? Through a sociocultural lens prioritizing student…
