Senior Director, Constellations Center for Equity in Computing Georgia Institute of Technology
After decades of effort to reform STEM education in higher education to make it more effective, more equitable, more accessible, and more just, we find ourselves at a crossroads. The SCOTUS decision to ban Affirmative Action in higher education admissions coupled with the rise of acrimonious culture warfare in education, and the growing influence of AI in education have all dramatically changed the context of our work. While we remain steadfast in our mission, the question facing us now is whether we move ahead as reformists, or revolutionaries?
