Presenter: Emma L Anderson (Oberlin College)

This presentation shares an understanding of the gender issues in computer science from the perspective of a programmer-turned-raving-feminist by challenging current ideas on changing gender bias in the field, and engaging in debates between the gender studies and computing communities about encouragement and empowerment of female students, single-sex classrooms and teaching techniques such as pair programming.
