Self-Care is an Act of Resistance
Dr. Elizabeth Joy
Now more than ever, we know the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Thankfully, individuals like you have stepped up to help make a difference. While your efforts are valued and are critical to achieving a better world, will the world be better if you aren’t?
This session will explore the difficulties of being a passionate social justice advocate while maintaining well-being. You will gain insight regarding how and why we should avoid martyrdom and live a lifestyle of embodied self-care.

Overcoming Complacency and Ceding Space
This panel of K-16 educators and administrators will discuss how to leverage one's privilege (and power) to do the important work of transforming computing courses, departments, and cultures. Topics will include not only how to counteract complacency to be better advocates and co-conspirators but also challenges faced and the importance of ceding space to enact meaningful and sustainable change.
