This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $772,953 to Emory University to conduct research on the experiences of Black women undergraduate students in computing degree programs at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). The key products and services to be delivered through this 4-year project include:

  • Leveraging Black feminist epistemologies and "sister circles" to explore the experiences, challenges, and strategies of Black women computing students at PWIs to address the underrepresentation of this group in the field.
  • Generating empirical knowledge about critical inflection points and factors that impact the persistence of Black women in computing degree programs.
  • Developing a "sister circle toolkit" to enable PWIs to build effective communities of support, mentorship, and career development opportunities for Black women in computing.

This research project aims to draw attention to the intersectional racial and gender inequities faced by Black women in computing education and devise strategies to improve their retention and success in the field.
