Digital and Computational Studies

Join Duke University’s Dr. Nicki Washington lecture on advocacy in computing and technology. See her description below:

“The issues that marginalized groups face in the computing+tech workforce are often equivalent to what they experience as college students. Yet, there still are no successful efforts that have solved the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues in either industry or undergraduate computing education. Successful advocacy/activism in computing+tech must be intentional and institutionalized at all levels. This talk discusses how to create and maintain a culture where advocacy/activism is not only celebrated, encouraged, and nurtured, but also expected.⁠”
