Yadav, Aman; Heath, Marie K. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2022
The unexamined power and prejudice embedded within technologies and societies has led to direct harm to individuals of color, minoritized groups, and the US ideal of a multi-racial democracy. Rather than an accident of AI or a "glitch" of the system, these inequities highlight the invisible and oppressive architecture -- a "New Jim…

Ceren Ocak; Katherine Walters; Theodore J. Kopcha – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2024
In this article, we present a conceptual framework for teaching computer science (CS) to address the unique challenges faced by marginalized groups. The framework is grounded in feminist standpoint theory and describes three key practitioner-focused areas aimed at broadening participation and increasing participation in CS education (CSEd). These…
