To mark the end of Pride Month 🏳️🌈, we’ve gathered LGBTQ+ computer scientists and software engineers to celebrate 🥳 and have an unfiltered discussion about what it means to be queer in the computer science field!
Angeni and Fiona sit down with ✨ Alex Hope (Security Engineer @ Atlassian), ✨ Emma Krantz (Lead Software Engineer @ Data61), ✨ Blake Morris (Student @ UNSW), and ✨ Aaron Quigley (CSE Head of School @ UNSW) to unpack their diverse experiences, and discuss:
- Coming out and choosing to be out 🌈
- Navigating both overt hostility and subtle discrimination 🤔
- What workplaces and universities can do to be inclusive 🤗, and
- Which video game 🎮 ?? sparked the moment of realisation 🙊
