Introducing multicultural issues to the computer science classroom: tutorial presentation
Goran P. Trajkovski · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2007
Compared to other disciplines, the computer sciences have been traditionally considered to be an unnatural ground for introducing multicultural topics, and raise awareness on crucial global and local societal issues. Despite the general attitude, however, infusion of such topics happens in our classrooms on daily basis. It is that many of us just do not label it as such. It is true that we cannot afford to have as many multiculturally-oriented courses in the computer sciences, as in, say, the humanities. However, via small interventions, reworking of the examples, projects, assignments etc., we can and we are nevertheless achieving the same goals.
