Three Black Professors receive $1.25 Million to develop New Identity-Inclusive Postdoc Program
Drs. Nicki Washington (Computer Science and GSFS), Shaundra Daily (Computer Engineering and Computer Science) and Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, (Sociology) were awarded $1.25M from the National Science Foundation to develop a new program to support postdoctoral fellows in Computer Science education. During their two-year fellowships, three AiiCE fellows (Alliance for Identity-Inclusive Computing Education, pronounced ace) will conduct research on methods and practices of inclusive computer science education and will take part in professional development activities aimed not only at the job search process, but also at the beginning of their faculty careers, with a particular focus on the challenges of navigating academia as early career researchers with a background that differs from that of most of their colleagues.
