Building and Sustaining Queer Communities in Computing Education: Activism, Creativity, and Connection

This Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session offers LGBTQ+ researchers, educators, and practitioners in computing education an inclusive space for community-building, advocacy, and creative expression. The session seeks to expand beyond traditional networking by offering attendees a variety of opt-in activities, such as fiber arts, crafting, media sharing, and Pittsburgh-themed games. Attendees will have the opportunity to decompress after a long conference day, participate in discussions on queer scholarship and activism, and explore ways to make computing education more inclusive to LGBTQ+ individuals.
