This is an open access book that covers the complete set of
experiences and results of the FemTech.dk research which we have
had conducted between 2016-2021 - from initiate idea to societal
communication. Diversity in Computer Science: Design Artefacts for
Equity and Inclusion presents and documents the principles,
results, and learnings behind the research initiative FemTech.dk,
which was created in 2016 and continues today as an important part
of the Department of Computer Science at the University of
Copenhagen's strategic development for years to come. FemTech.dk
was created in 2016 to engage with research within gender and
diversity and to explore the role of gender equity as part of
digital technology design and development. FemTech.dk considers how
and why computer science as a field and profession in Denmark has
such a distinct unbalanced gender representation in the 21st
century. This book is also the story of how we (the authors) as
computer science researchers embarked on a journey to engage with a
new research field - equity and gender in computing - about which
we had only sporadic knowledge when we began. We refer here to
equity and gender in computing as a research field - but in
reality, this research field is a multiplicity of entangled paths,
concepts, and directions that forms important and critical insights
about society, gender, politics, and infrastructures which are
published in different venues and often have very different sets of
criteria, values, and assumptions. Thus, part of our journey is
also to learn and engage with all these different streams of
research, concepts, and theoretical approaches and, through these
engagements, to identify and develop our own theoretical platform,
which has a foundation in our research backgrounds in
Human-Computer Interaction broadly - and Interaction Design &
Computer Supported Cooperative Work specifically.
