DESCRIPTION:Kicking Butt in Computer Science: Women in Computing at Carnegie Mellon and Around the World

SUMMARY:In this talk we discuss our work on the participation of women in computer science in Carnegie Mellons School of Computer Science. Carnegie Mellon (CMU) has been a national leader in paying attention to womens participation in computing. In the last few years CMU hit a landmark in reaching gender parity in the computer science major. Our book -- “Kicking butt in Computing in Computer Science: Women in Computing at Carnegie Mellon University” -- tells a positive story and illustrates the value of looking to cultural factors, not gender differences. More recently our work moved beyond CMU to ask what is happening with women in computing globally? In “Cracking the Digital Ceiling: Women in Computing Around the World” we brought together more than 20 academics to provide their perspectives on the issue from a wide range of countries and cultures. We will discuss the various obstacles and catalysts that help determine womens participation in the ever growing and life influencing fields of computing.
