This Birds of a Feather session invites Black computing educators, students, and allies to contribute towards cultivating a sustainable support system for Black students and faculty in computing. Participants will share lived experiences, strategies, and challenges in navigating academic and professional spaces, especially with the current decisive, contentious political climate and its implications for the Black computer science education community. Grounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory, this session will focus on the three main tenets of this theory: self-efficacy beliefs, outcome expectations and personal goals through the presented activities. One example is the celebration of the achievements, both academic and non-academic, of all attendees. This contributes to all tenets: it addresses their self-efficacy beliefs and confidence in their ability to perform; it presents actual results addressing their outcome expectations and helps shape their goals as they see ‘like’ individuals achieving. The authors will foster collaborative, brainstorming, affirmative, reflective and collective exchange.
