For social justice-oriented design, pluralistic participatory practices are recognised as important. This paper explores Socially Engaged Art (SEA) as one such practice, which uses dialogical inquiry to address social justice issues. We describe a case ...

Facebook, the largest social networking site in the world, has overcome the structural barriers that historically constrain individuals to reach out to different others. Through the platform, people from all walks of life and virtually any location can ...

In today's world, understanding different viewpoints is key for societal cohesion and progress. Robots have the potential to provide aid in discussing tough topics like ethnicity and gender. However, comparably to humans, the appearance of a robot can ...

Computing self-efficacy is an important factor in shaping students' motivation, performance, and persistence in computer science (CS) courses. Therefore, investigating computing self-efficacy may help to improve the persistence of students from ...

Although there is a great demand for graduates in computing fields, companies frequently struggle to find enough workers. They may also grapple with obtaining racial, ethnic, and gender diversity in representation. It has been suggested that the hiring ...

Engaging diverse participants in HCI research is critical for creating safe, inclusive, and equitable technology. However, there is a lack of guidelines on when, why, and how HCI researchers collect study participants’ race and ethnicity. Our paper aims ...

This session will help educators, staff, and administrators gain understanding and confidence in using inclusive language to refer to identities and demographic groups. Using human-centered terminology for identities based on characteristics like race, ...

Engaging racially and ethnically diverse participants in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research is critical for creating safe, inclusive, and equitable technology. However, it remains unclear why and how HCI researchers collect study participants’ ...

Introductory computer science courses are characterized by difficulty, which may contribute to the low success rate, diversity, and retention in these key courses. Difficulty in programming projects was found to result in negative self-efficacy ...

Although computing occupations have some of the greatest projected growth rates, there remains a deficit of graduates in these fields. The struggle to engage enough students to meet demands is particularly pronounced for groups already underrepresented ...

Coyler & Woodward surveyed students within the IT discipline and assessed student self-confidence in various content areas (e.g., computer programming, mathematics, crytography, etc.) and recommended that additional content-based questions be developed ...

A diverse workforce is not just "nice to have", it is a reflection of a changing world. Such a diverse workforce brings high value to organizations and it is essential for developing the national technological innovation, economic vitality, and global ...

There is an urgent and ongoing need to engage critically with race in human-computer interaction. In this workshop, we consider two intertwining aspects: first, how HCI research and practice should engage with race; second, how the HCI community itself ...

Computer science (CS) has been identified as one of the fastest-growing professions, with demand for CS professionals far outpacing the supply of CS graduates. The necessity for a trained CS workforce has compelled industry and academia to evaluate ...

A play, iDream, was written to communicate through characters, plot and dialogue the results of NSF-funded research about young women experiencing, internalizing and overcoming barriers to inclusion in the information technology fields. The purpose of ...

DOOR is an artwork that aims at exposing some of the social and political impact of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and automation. The project uses a commercially available computer vision system that predicts the interactor's ethnicity, and ...

This panel focuses on the challenges of collecting and analyzing data relating to retention of students in undergraduate computer science education programs. The panelists will share learnings and recommendations from the final report of the ACM ...

Culture - an aggregation of people's location, language, tribe and economic activities might have a role to play in the security decisions of users. Culture in this context is even more relevant in most African societies as there are many ethnic groups. ...

The ground-breaking current project builds on the latent gender gap in the education sector in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The objective of the paper is to present the thesis Project, which addresses the study ...

A lack of racial-ethnic diversity in game characters and limited customization options render in-game self-representation by players of colour fraught. We present a mixed-methods study of what players from different race-ethnicities require to feel ...
