Despite years and resources spent addressing diversity and inclusion, computing has not seen meaningful improvements. From the design and implementation of code to computer science classrooms to technology workplaces, computing\u0027s discrimination problem spans the entire tech industry. Decades of minimal progress addressing computing\u0027s discrimination problem requires new ways to approach discrimination throughout computing. To address computing\u0027s discrimination problem, we must be able to identify and understand the scope of the problem as well as its root causes.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EBoth of the leading professional organizations in computing, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), state that a central aim of their work is to support technical advances that are beneficial for people\u2014ACM\u2019s tagline includes \u0022where computing helps solves tomorrow\u2019s problems\u0022 and IEEE\u2019s tagline is \u0022Advancing Technology for Humanity\u0022. In this dissertation, I discuss how people working in computing can address the root causes of computing\u0027s discrimination problem by reversing the systemic tendency to abstract away the complexity of humanity. Specifically, in my dissertation, I identify and cultivate an understanding of the root causes of computing\u0027s discrimination problem across various sub-areas of computing. I explain the anti-discriminatory theoretical framework that guides my work so that others can apply and extend this framework. I also report on four research studies across four sub-areas in computing\u2014computer science (broadly), HCI, AI, and programming languages. These studies advance progress towards the goal of identifying and understanding the root causes of computing\u0027s discrimination problems. I explore why computing\u2019s discrimination problem has endured and uncover targeted directions for future work to reduce discrimination in computing.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EZoom Details:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/98468406652?pwd=dnNuN2VYS1laeXhqYm81M1QrV3kyQT09\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/98468406652?pwd=dnNuN2VYS1laeXhqYm81M1QrV3kyQT09\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EMeeting ID: 972 5483 7176\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EPasscode: 105158\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EAddressing Computing\u2019s Discrimination Problem: A Framework for Anti-Discriminatory Computing\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Addressing Computing\u2019s Discrimination Problem: A Framework for Anti-Discriminatory Computing  "}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2023-06-16 15:58:56","changed_gmt":"2023-06-16 15:58:56","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-06-28T10:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-06-28T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-06-28T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-06-28 14:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-06-28 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-06-28 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Remote","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
