  • Abstract
    An unusual career trajectory led to the intersection of computer science and social science—and a new perspective on gender diversity in computing. This is one of five articles providing personal perspectives on gender diversity in computing. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/S8OFA0J7iR4 is a video interview in which Kate Starbird, an assistant professor in the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington, discusses the importance of gender diversity in computing with Alfred C. (Alf) Weaver, the director of the University of Virginia´s Applied Research Institute.
