From CS2023 Report (Gamma version): ‘Computer Science has had — since its inception as a field — a diversity problem. Despite being a creative, highly compensated field with myriad job (and other) opportunities, racial, gender and other inequities in representation are pervasive. For too many students, their first computer science course is their last. There are many factors including the legacy of systemic racism, ableism, sexism, classism, and other injustices that contribute to the lack of diverse identities within computer science, and there is no single, quick fix.’

Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility (summary by ChatGPT 3.5):

Equity: Equity refers to fairness and impartiality in treatment or access to opportunities. It involves ensuring that everyone has access to the same resources and opportunities, regardless of their background or circumstances. Equity recognizes that different individuals may require different levels of support to achieve the same outcome.

Equality: Equality refers to the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities. It involves treating everyone the same and giving everyone the same opportunities, regardless of their differences. Equality aims to ensure that everyone has the same starting point and access to the same resources.

Diversity: Diversity refers to the presence of differences within a group or organization. It encompasses a variety of dimensions, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, and socioeconomic status. Diversity recognizes and values the unique perspectives and experiences that individuals from different backgrounds bring.

Inclusion: Inclusion refers to the practice of actively involving and valuing all individuals within a group or organization, regardless of their differences. It involves creating a sense of belonging and ensuring that everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to contribute.

Accessibility: Accessibility refers to the design of products, services, environments, and information to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. Accessibility aims to remove barriers and ensure that everyone, including those with disabilities, can fully participate in society.

In summary, equity focuses on fairness and impartiality, equality focuses on treating everyone the same, diversity focuses on differences, inclusion focuses on involvement and belonging, and accessibility focuses on removing barriers. These concepts are interrelated and are often used together to promote a more inclusive and equitable society.

  • sorry So Okay. Can you hear me already?
  • Okay, I wanted to focus on inclusion diversity, equity and
  • accessibility today
  • you laughing with me or at me or something? Else
  • so?
  • So is that an important improvement on EDI? Or is the
  • same the state's EDI safe to say reverse v and v. So they talk
  • about Diversity Equity and Inclusion and as opposed to in
  • Canada where we talked about Equity Diversity and Inclusion
  • Have you seen discussion about idea
  • as, as the acronym for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and
  • accessibility to me this seems a bit new
  • you we'll talk about it in more detail I just wanted to touch on
  • stuff from last day
  • first
  • so, there are a few comments about the team human the video
  • and the concept being a bit confusing maybe questions or
  • comments to begin with.
  • So it touched on the idea of people are not done against
  • people that are data sources that companies make predictions
  • about their behavior.
  • So, I understand that whether you are going to be on Team
  • human or not, is
  • working forward towards technology that augments human
  • ability and values human contributions more than
  • technological advancements.
  • So, as you Keishon as
  • education is compensation for working in service to the job
  • market.
  • So there's an aspect of the issue regarding
  • inclusion diversity, equity and accessibility when we think
  • about what education is and what it could be
  • then the other thing that camp in some comments was about scams
  • and I just wanted to bring up that website once more.
  • So I did a bit of research after class there's no Wikipedia page
  • for this website.
  • Website deserves a Wikipedia page that look trustworthy. No,
  • I don't think so either. So there is I found some tools that
  • we recommended on the website.
  • And I reviewed the website with those tools and one interesting
  • one I don't recall which one it was with it said it looks okay.
  • But it seems to be very focused on
  • everything I get isn't everything that the website is
  • about
  • or has is related to pornography. So Google Sites
  • didn't have enough data on this website.
  • And there were some others that it was apparent he didn't have
  • bad information about it. They didn't have any good information
  • either so
  • yeah. And your email address is spoofs at the daily scan.com
  • Anyway.
  • I don't know that I would trust investopedia.com For information
  • about top internet scams, but evington Police, Kaspersky,
  • Kaspersky Pardon me fbi.gov and the Canadian anti fraud Centre
  • are much more reliable looking sources so.
  • So there we have it.
  • Like there might be like a trade off here though. Like the daily
  • scam seems like fun. If you go back to the website really
  • quick. It doesn't actually seem that untrustworthy like it seems
  • to mimic some of the more common question like scam sites almost
  • like intentionally, but it doesn't outwardly sell you. Like
  • it's not asking you to purchase anything like free newsletter.
  • Send us your scams and then check out the podcast all of
  • which are like free to do and I think that while it may not be
  • an authoritative source, like the FBI, it's the trade off
  • there is that since it's more in a niche, it gives more specific
  • information than like the guideline not whereas the FBI
  • might just be like, Don't give out your sin. There'll be like
  • here's this new scam that popped up yesterday and the detailing
  • exactly what it does. So I think in that regard, it might be more
  • trustworthy for certain topics.
  • Yeah, so I would say not looking. Trustworthy is about
  • the web design here a little bit.
  • So, HTML that ends up rendered is a concern.
  • I could fit on let me see. If I can find.
  • Thought it was here, but so think that went to the archives
  • and there was nothing there.
  • anyway.
  • Sorry. I thought I had to edit it to some things that don't
  • show up here.
  • So this is from 2023 curriculum report, gamma version there now.
  • It's not been finalized. But since we've been referring to
  • this version, already this semester. Computer science has
  • had since its inception, as a field of diversity problem.
  • Despite being a creative, highly compensated field with a myriad
  • of job and other opportunities racial gender and other
  • inequities in representation are pervasive. For too many
  • students, their first computer science course is their last.
  • There are many factors including the legacy of systemic racism
  • ableism, sexism, classism, and other injustices that contribute
  • to the lack of diverse identities within computer
  • science and there is no single Quick Fix that's inaccurate
  • that's inaccurate based on page views, talked about and looked
  • at the semester.
  • Like I just talked about all the women in computer science to
  • like that original programmers. Yeah, but anybody really seem to
  • know the word.
  • So those kinds of stories are suppressed
  • So is that an underlying issue that we need to address in
  • computer science?
  • So how can we how would you feel about blank?
  • sake of long for computerization,
  • This
  • second of these two choices, so, is the appropriate approach to
  • the bat. The way people do things now, to use new
  • technology is
  • that a viable alternative or do we adopt new technology? To suit
  • current and well established human processes
  • I can also add that qualifier to the first
  • the first option
  • that difference makes sense
  • Could you give an example?
  • This is a bit more complicated example. The Phoenix miracle
  • system
  • juicing process was in place and Harper was Prime Minister data
  • side processing started riding and we're going to computerize
  • it and it's going to be graded saved millions of dollars
  • so they
  • can take some off the shelf software to use and adapted the
  • software the attempted to adapt the software to the processes.
  • Changing the processes along the way was the net effect that
  • people for years were underpaid? overpaid.
  • Lost houses became ill This is not a very situation. I'll put a
  • link to some of the stories about those things.
  • So maybe another case so they were adapting the current
  • processes in the software. Instead of understanding what
  • the processes we're creating software to support the simpler
  • case regional standards for doing things
  • that are respected. They say well we're going to search the
  • Microsoft Office for So do these things. So the users the people
  • have to adapt to the new process instead of people creating
  • technology and maybe it's a different path technology or in
  • very little technology at all, to support what people are doing
  • what they have to do for years.
  • So Facebook used to have this motto
  • great thanks.
  • Way to encourage innovation, but it doesn't encourage many other
  • types of values that we've developed over the years
  • that make sense.
  • So how would you describe it approach of saying you know what
  • you need here it is Be glad that we're doing this for you.
  • Are we showing empathy towards the people?
  • Who are serving with that approach or getting something
  • else?
  • I wanted to show I want to show you a video.
  • I think this is the one that I intend to show. They've changed
  • that a bit but they used to have three different versions. That's
  • let's watch this and we'll go from there
  • see if we can get through the video without ads in the middle.
  • So team when I first got access to a computer, my parents bought
  • me a Macintosh at 14. I was in sixth grade.
  • I went to college freshman year first semester. Enjoy computer
  • science. Arroyo forever played tic tac toe.
  • It was pretty humble beginnings of the first program I wrote
  • asked things like what's your favorite color? Or how old are
  • you? I first started seeing a green circle and a red square
  • here on the screen. The first time I actually had somebody
  • come up
  • and say hello world. I made a computer do that. It's just
  • astonishing learning. I'm
  • pretty didn't start off as wanting to learn all the
  • computer science or trying to master this discipline or
  • anything like that. It just started off because I want to do
  • this one simple thing on Facebook. That was fun for
  • myself and my sisters and I wrote this little program that
  • basically just add a little bit to it. And then when we learn
  • something new, we'll just be revoker on the internet of
  • natural materials.
  • It's really not like you're playing sport. It starts out
  • being very intimidating, but kind of competitive over time.
  • Convenience
  • is something that can be learned. And I know it can be
  • intimidating. A lot of things are intimidating. But you know,
  • what is it logically people do is actually fairly simple. It's
  • it's more about the process of breaking down problems then, you
  • know, sort of coming up with complicated algorithms as people
  • traditionally think about it.
  • You don't have to be a genius to know how to code you need to be
  • determined ditions
  • fraction that's about it should probably know your
  • multiplication tables
  • have to be genius to read. Even if you want to become a racecar
  • driver or baseball or, you know, build a house. All of these
  • things have been turned upside down by software, but it is the
  • computers are everywhere we work in agriculture.
  • Do you want to work in entertainment Do you want to
  • work in manufacturing? It's just all over.
  • on technology to bake information and notice no harm
  • read and write code. When I was in school, I was in a stack of
  • super powerful messages and people found out he laughed at
  • me you know all these things and I'm like, Man, I don't care. I
  • think it's cool and you know I've learned a lot and some
  • offers and jobs.
  • Our policy is literally to hire as many talented engineers as
  • they can. The whole image of the system is that there just aren't
  • enough people who are trained
  • to have a skill set to get the very best people we try and make
  • the office as awesome as possible.
  • free food, free laundry, snacks,
  • even places to play video games and scooters. There's all these
  • interesting things around the office place where you can play
  • or relax or go to think or play music or be creative. Whether
  • you're trying to make a lot of money or whether you just want
  • to change the world computer programming is incredibly
  • empowering skill to learn.
  • Told me that software is really about humanity is really about
  • helping people by using computer technology. It would have
  • changed my outlook a lot earlier, to be
  • able to actually come to an idea and then see it in your hands
  • and be able to press a button and navigate to millions of
  • people's hands. I think we're the first generation in the
  • world that's really ever had that kind of experience. Just
  • think that when you start something in your college dorm
  • room and you have a set of people who haven't built a big
  • company before come together, build something that building
  • for us in our daily lives is just crazy. It's really, it's
  • humbling and it's amazing. The programmers of tomorrow are the
  • Wizards
  • of the future. You know, you're gonna look like you have magic
  • powers compared to everybody else.
  • This is the closest thing we have to a superpower. Great
  • coders RJ success.
  • So how long has that aged?
  • It's not 2000 anymore.
  • So what is computing for the next video?
  • are some options presented and others work presented they're
  • also part.
  • So Alex Hadley Partovi. He's the guy who started code.org and the
  • Hour of Code. He worked at Langley shops for years. If you
  • want to make love money or.
  • I don't remember exactly. The phrase to change the world
  • was another perspective
  • any others that come to mind
  • Talking about helping people we help people in need and why do
  • they need our help? Is this other group are helping somehow
  • inferior
  • people such as people disabilities where you can
  • program something that was effectively improves? Their
  • quality? of life.
  • This study, divide and conquer approach solving problems
  • is that a loaded phrase?
  • Have to post reference for that?
  • Following is focused on how to solve problems is that a
  • limiting aspect when we're considering how do we deal with
  • the impacts of computing technology that are in front of
  • us now?
  • To the future will be wizards of today, tomorrow
  • employment lines Why is
  • your threatens to take over
  • feel like I'm being too dark
  • What's that? Serving today?
  • So I had Joel Salatin before books and he's known as a young
  • organic farmer
  • and he gave a talk about how he was doing things on his farm
  • focus on providing local food well, I still am but less
  • involved. Anyway, run to campus and design work for me and he
  • said I told him about anything. So the growth determined
  • they should check that's what it says anyway
  • feel like we should end on a more positive note and we didn't
  • watch the Grace Hopper video in class did we?
  • I promise to be delightful. Not disturbing next week.
  • So I have stretches that are far so impressive very hands on this
  • program. recently retired from the United States Navy has a
  • rear back home and was until that time the oldest active
  • military officers. She is also a pioneer in the computer field as
  • well as a brilliant and charming woman please welcome Admiral
  • Grace Hopper
  • you ever been here who ever ever seen this program?
  • I'm afraid it's too late for me. I have to get the time to be in
  • office at seven o'clock in the morning. Well, it's a long way.
  • So Arlene and getting across the river down through Washington.
  • This type of all the way from the Pentagon down to Navy Yard,
  • or Chicago. There was
  • a company here for private parties are hooked
  • up to much better.
  • So you're working a full day
  • now for a private firm right? Yes. Okay. And how long ago did
  • you digitally that concerns
  • 105 I'll see that's
  • what the 400 is omega was Was there a wild celebration at
  • midnight with a souffle?
  • Asleep. So you can see went to bed in the service and woke up
  • hello search
  • for first boot camp or retraining. If they put you down
  • somewhere with nothing to do go to sleep. At the office policy
  • for us, I'm sure. You mentioned boot camp now when did you go
  • through? What are you wearing? What What kind of was it
  • physically
  • demanding, mentally demanding all of these houses that came in
  • women, they could still memorize things and I forgot now I see.
  • So you're prepared to memorize geography and derive the
  • organization in the name Jack the memory.
  • So you were older than most of the other.
  • family got in as 3737 No
  • but what interested Do you want to delete it for yourself? Again
  • everybody in this country all in one thing together.
  • And then when you decide to go there and fight Nazis.
  • Well the other thing that I had to go maybe because my great
  • grandfather was a Rear Admiral. My father was on the Navy
  • probably the reason for my graffiti spray been on it so
  • you said the tradition in your family. Yeah. And then and then
  • but before that you also
  • worked on your original computer in this country
  • right? Very far to the Navy. I remember the first statement
  • here and it says on one
  • thing was a delight
  • to be on it. We had an MVP and that was the pocket
  • tiny corner of a chip now I know we're hurting you know so much
  • about computers. And it's the first one Yeah. This is to find
  • your own. Well, I've just joined the BBC to search my stories to
  • journalists. What I find was a story about describing all this
  • stuff. My dad is a full beard and so
  • one day, we came around with my desk and said you're gonna write
  • a book. He said you're in the Navy and
  • you're in the right book and I was outlining the
  • entire manual on the computer. And I said, yeah,
  • 911 about computers and you know everything. You're sure I can.
  • But does anybody
  • on say Sunday good guy.
  • You're known as the Queen of software, that
  • the characters an image of somebody who has a lot of
  • Tupperware parties.
  • When we started with nine seconds, thousandths of a
  • second, normally one two microseconds millions per
  • second. And now we talk about nanoseconds at the valence of a
  • second, but I totally get into the second and I didn't know
  • what to do and talk to me about the one day I called over
  • engineering to cut off and then the second Saturday.
  • Take your car. Totally. See I didn't realize that actually
  • because we were hurt at the Gracie. I understand that this
  • is a visual.
  • That is the max distance of labor a Christian travel and
  • opinion of the second. No, no faster. No no, no. When an
  • animal asks you what takes a damn long to send a message via
  • satellite. You point out to him in between here and the
  • satellite there are a very large number of mountains
  • welcome my ankle brace operators Rear Admiral or dismantle.
  • We are heading on lower than what once was what is that term?
  • The rear admiral before sending the Brigadier General
  • but there's a rare apply to a visit Monster Rear
  • Admiral Vice Admiral and find out where the physicians
  • position on and then the other email very long honestly I had a
  • great life strategy never had a nurse call. No no, no. Here's
  • the funny thing. And guys, you know I'll be at December at
  • this occasion was promoted the Commodore weeks later was
  • renamed very radical. And President Reagan did it all by
  • himself.
  • Just go back on my toes to to ensure manage man paid somebody.
  • The footpath the funniest old gal. Threatened sometimes I'm
  • older than you're laughing for her all the way across.
  • The ground is not hurt at all
  • you're trying to explain to me why and now say it means
  • anything that
  • means something is good. Everybody wants answered better
  • answers fast. Are you going to my computer because my computer
  • science but this is as fast as we can talk about nanoseconds
  • for several years. Now they're talking about five milliseconds
  • and then five per second is 1000 anamnestic. Imagine
  • a 1,000th of a billionth of
  • a second. Just one second. Let's say you are with Donald
  • somewhere and get a song packet or pirate check and say hi the
  • label Paparazzo was there
  • that's a good illustration. And maybe any of the difficulty is
  • making the transition from oh, here's a military
  • person to civilian life. And she had of course another civilian
  • grandson. Here I'm worried around those black heeled shoes
  • and all of a sudden they want to put me on Slack Deal's off all.

  • We try to be Welsh Scottish or Irish. Scottish Welsh. Alright.
  • I'm not going to argue with you here Accenture research okay
  • well, that's a lousy your wave Thank you very much.
  • Throughout history, there have been a lot of weeds.
  • So how will we end on a high note?
  • The questions or comments about nano seconds or PICO seconds and
  • Grace Hopper
  • she apparently brought the nine seconds with her regularly she
  • had them when she did.
  • It evening.
  • Day
  • up you're on
  • up you're on

Responses

What important concept or perspective did you encounter today?

  • Today I learnt about the importance of learning coding.
  • How in 2013 1 in 4 universities offered a computer science program
  • not really
  • Computer Science has a diversity problem that needs to be address. Diversity in computer science helps guard against bias and leads to new perspectives. The more complex computer science gets the more diversity in the field will be benefited.
  • Equality amoung other terms
  • CS2023 Report (Gamma version): ‘Computer Science has had — since its inception as a field — a diversity problem
  • I encountered purpose of computing
  • Dark Daryl and philosophical questions regarding computer science and computer engineering.
  • CS2023 Report (Gamma Version), Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility
  • We learned about education - Idea
  • I encountered the concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the context of computer science.
  • Equity was one important concept I have encountered
  • Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility
  • Discussing about what is the purpose of studying CS some reasons were to help those who are in need by making things accessible. Another point to add to it could be to mitigate the risks of artificial intelligence interfering with human well being by studying about how those algorithms are set into place and the capabilities they posses and how to tap into that for the betterment of humanity.
  • Diversity in Computer Science Sector
  • no
  • Briefing about Computer Science
  • We talked about Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility
  • Computer science faces persistent diversity issues stemming from systemic inequities, such as racism and sexism, often leading to a lack of representation and opportunities for underrepresented groups. Achieving equity and diversity in the field requires acknowledging and addressing these complex issues, rather than seeking a singular solution.
  • I learned the exact definitions of equity, equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility. As these words are interrelated, often people (including myself) like to use them interchangably but there is a difference in the meaning of each word: Equity focuses on fairness and impartiality, equality focuses on treating everyone the same, diversity focuses on differences, inclusion focuses on involvement and belonging, and accessibility focuses on removing barriers.
  • Equity
  • An important perspective was thinking about why people study computer science and code. Is it to help other people? Change the world? Why am I studying CS?
  • The problem of diversity. After coming to U of R, the people from different backgorund was a welcome site but I did not know a field like CS had issues with prejudice. Since it is a field in computers doesnt just doesnt mean humans within it are better.
  • learning to code is important
  • Grace hopper was a member of the military through and through. I was under the impression that she was contracted or something to that effect
  • I thought the concepts of Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility were important. Especially how they affect technology, the impact is a lot bigger than I thought
  • The concept of inclusion,diversity,equity and accessibility.
  • nothing
  • the importance of equity, equality, diversity and accessibility
  • Alternatives for Charged Terminology in the Computing Profession
  • equity
  • Today I learned about Grace Hopper who was a part of making the first computer.
  • An important perspective I encountered today was the "why" of people going into computing. Everyone has their own reason for learning computer science, and it's a shame CS has had a diversity problem in the past/present but it is amazing how many people really enjoy computing for more than the money that it can bring in. With the wave of AI surfacing I believe the people who don't have a passion for CS rather than the money will realize the job market will be extremely tough for them.
  • not really
  • Charged terminology in computing profession
  • the contyributions of computing on humanity and people , and Grace Hopper's interview!!
  • the concept learnt was all very interesting
  • personal skill development
  • Computerization, IDEA
  • learn about Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility
  • The diversity problem that plagues computer science.
  • An important concept I learned today was from the first video about how determination is a key factor to success
  • An important concept we covered today was: Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility. I feel this is very important in computing today because we as computer science students we should always include, support, and provide for anybody who wants to be apart of technology. Everyone has a right to do what they want and I think anyone can make a difference in the world today.
  • 1
  • The concepts related to Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility.
  • Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility, Computing (benefits and why?)
  • We talked about the diversity problem in the CS field. We talked about the purpose of Computing and said that it was to help people among other things. We also watched a video and thought about how poorly it aged.
  • Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA)
  • We disscussed some articles
  • An important concept i learned about Equity which means fairness, and impartiality treatment or access to opportunities.
  • Class
  • all about Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility
  • No
  • Last few topics of the course
  • No
  • The thing I noticed in the class was the topics Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility. I think it was imporatant to encounter.
  • Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility
  • We discussed about CS2023 Report.
  • No
  • While it may not be a concept or perspective, we briefly talked about the diversity problem within the computer science field. While the data may have been recorded from 2023, I find that the CS department in our school is very diverse and even companies now are beginning to become more diverse. I believe that in a few years from now it will become less of a problem.
  • Today we discussed how computer science study is important for us to learn in school
  • I found it really interesting that despite being a creative field cs has a diversity problem because one would expect a creative field to be very inclusive of different types of people and perspective to encourage innovation that benefits different types of people.
  • I learned about Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility. Equity focuses on fairness and impartiality whereas equality focuses on equality focuses on treating everyone the exact same.
  • About technology, computer and its past
  • Nope
  • Nothing interesting
  • Diversity inclusion and equity
  • Model for computerization
  • No
  • Equity in computer science and adapting computers to fit human needs
  • The concept of CS having a diversity problem since its inception
  • assignment
  • Nothing
  • Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility
  • We watched some more videos today, including a humorously outdated video about social media companies.
  • No
  • inclusion and equity within computer science
  • An important concept we talked about today was Inclusion Diversity Equity and Accessibility(IDEA) which are concepts often used together to promote a more inclusive and equitable society. Another thing we talked about was thedailyscam.com and how it does not have a wiki page of its own, perhaps does it even deserve one? Lastly, talked about the purpose of comupting and why we are studying it. In conclusion, we summed up that it can help change the world; that its for humanity to improve quality of life.
  • The computing world needs to be more inclusive and treat everyone fairly
  • The concept of equality in computer technology was really worth giving thoughts to.
  • The video we watched about schools not teaching computer science was interesting because I had no idea some of these famous people we interested in coding
  • CS along with curent and future technology
  • Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility
  • In summary, equity focuses on fairness and impartiality, equality focuses on treating everyone the same, diversity focuses on differences, inclusion focuses on involvement and belonging, and accessibility focuses on removing barriers. These concepts are interrelated and are often used together to promote a more inclusive and equitable society.
  • The importance of recognizing the differences of equality and equity, what we can do to achieve them, and what we should do to ensure we hold accountability to meet them
  • a lot
  • Equity equality
  • nothing
  • Today I got to know about Grace Hopper who is known as computer queen. Also ,it was good to know about equity and diversity in computer science.
  • I got to know about Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility today
  • Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility
  • Equity, equality and inclusion.
  • We talked about the importance of inclusion within the computing profession, especially with the growth and need for it over the past couple years. We discussed why diversity and fair treatment of all in this growing profession is so important because with growth comes diversity and it is crucial that we do not treat others differently because they are different than us.

  • IDEA - Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, Accessibility.
  • An important concept that I encountered today is how the field of computer science has had many diversity problems. Many inequities such as gender, race, and class often contribute to the lack of diverse identities within the field. Not only are they affecting technology accessibility, but job opportunities as well. In order to address these problems, we must focus on equity, equality, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.
  • Equity emphasizes justice and impartiality, equality emphasizes treating everyone the same, diversity emphasizes differences, inclusion emphasizes engagement and belonging, and accessibility emphasizes the removal of barriers.
