Stephanie Tubbs Jones, S. Moore, Shirin Vossoughi · Proceedings. · 2023
This paper arises out of a need to take seriously interventions on anti-Black racism in the computing education space.We extend the framework of Politicized Care to an out of school space to explore how Black femme mentors' pedagogy opens up alternative experiences of computing education.We offer another frame for computing teaching and learning that develops protection and care as a part of deep intellectual work.This necessitates our attention to relationships within moment to moment teaching and learning alongside youth.We offer a vignette from a summer STEAM program that highlight aspects of Politicized Care.This paper offers a domain specific example of politicized care that may inform future research design.
