However, as books like \u201cBrotopia\u201d by Emily Chang and \u201cRace after Technology\u201d by Ruha Benjamin indicate, the culture of tech companies can be misogynistic and racist and therefore unwelcoming to many people. Google\u2019s\u00a0firing\u00a0of a well-regarded Black scientist for her\u00a0research on algorithmic bias\u00a0in December 2020 suggests that there may be limited capacity within the industry to challenge this culture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Change may need to start earlier in the workforce development pipeline. Undergraduate education offers a key opportunity for recruiting students from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic, gender, and disability groups into computing. Yet even broadened participation in college computer science courses may not shift the tech workforce and block bias from seeping into tech tools if students aren\u2019t taught that diversity and ethics are essential to their field of study and future careers.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Also mentioned\/see:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/foundation.mozilla.org\/en\/what-we-fund\/awards\/teaching-responsible-computing-playbook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Teaching Responsible Computing Playbook<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong>The ultimate goal of Teaching Responsible Computing is to educate a new wave of students who bring holistic thinking to the design of technology products. To do this, it is critical for departments to work together across computing, humanistic studies, and more, and collaborate across institutions. This Playbook offers the lessons learned from the process of adapting and enhancing curricula to include responsible computing in a broad set of institutions and help others get started doing the same in their curricula.\u00a0<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s Teach Computer Science Majors to Be Good Citizens.
