Description
Summary:The history of diversity in computing is briefly summarized and the need for a conference for Research on Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT), is briefly discussed. Since its inception in 2015, RESPECT has provided a peer-reviewed venue for presenting innovative research, experiences, and ideas on broadening participation of underrepresented groups in computing. The RESPECT 2019 research track includes papers, posters, and lightning talk presentations that examine barriers to equity and inclusion that impact the representation of women, people of color, and people with disabilities across the entire CS education and workforce pipeline; that propose and evaluate interventions to promote inclusive pedagogy in computer science classrooms, including through K-12 teacher preparation; and that describe approaches to making equity and inclusion a first principle for CS education strategies at the school and state levels.
