& BY SOME MEASURES, significant progress has been made in diversifying computing in science and engineering (CSE). The first Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference brought together 500 technical women in 1994, while the 2020 conference is expecting 30 000 attendees. Diversity organizations in CSE exist in a variety of diversity dimensions such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and technical areas such as computing, math, and engineering. For example, we have organizations focused on women in mathematics, Blacks in engineering, LGBT in math, and Hispanics in computing, as well as many other combinations. The growth of these organizations represents important progress and maturity toward diversifying. This progress was accomplished by a focus on the “D” in diversity and inclusion. That is, a focus on the underrepresented by providing important tools, community, and resources; or “fixing the minorities.” Yet, the data show considerable gaps still remain between the available talent and actual participation by these groups, as well as higher dropout rates for underrepresented groups. Further progress calls for new approaches to diversity and inclusion. The maturity of the “D” suggests addressing inclusion, or the “I” side. This requires not just a focus on marginalized people, but also efforts to transform the broader communities to places where all people are welcome, productive, and thriving; environments where inclusion is the norm, i.e., normal practice. Recent events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black LivesMattermovement, highlight longstanding systemic issues related to racial and ethnic disparities. This spotlight created a global focus on diversity and a great deal action including protests, new or renewed commitment to diversity, and interest in ways to create change. The momentum generated begs for action. This article describes ways to harness themomentum. Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MCSE.2020.3020445

在充满挑战的时期通过领导力实现多样性和包容性

通过一些措施,科学与工程(CSE)计算的多样化取得了重大进展。1994 年,第一届 Grace Hopper 计算机界女性庆典汇聚了 500 名技术女性,而 2020 年的会议预计将有 30 000 名与会者。CSE 中的多元化组织存在于各种多元化维度,例如性别、种族、民族、性取向以及计算、数学和工程等技术领域。例如,我们有一些组织专注于数学领域的女性、工程领域的黑人、数学领域的 LGBT、计算领域的西班牙裔,以及许多其他组合。这些组织的成长代表着多元化的重要进步和成熟。这一进展是通过关注多样性和包容性中的“D”来实现的。那是,通过提供重要的工具、社区和资源,关注代表性不足的群体;或“修复少数群体”。然而,数据显示这些群体的可用人才与实际参与之间仍然存在相当大的差距,而且代表性不足的群体的辍学率更高。进一步的进展需要新的多元化和包容性方法。“D”的成熟表明解决包容性,或“I”方面。这不仅需要关注边缘化人群,还需要努力将更广泛的社区转变为所有人都受到欢迎、生产力和繁荣的地方;包容是常态的环境,即正常做法。最近的事件,包括 COVID-19 大流行和黑人生命物质运动,突出了与种族和民族差异相关的长期系统性问题。这种聚光灯引发了全球对多样性的关注和大量行动,包括抗议、对多样性的新承诺或新承诺,以及对创造变革方式的兴趣。产生的势头需要采取行动。本文介绍了利用动力的方法。数字对象标识符 10.1109/MCSE.2020.3020445
