Pride in Computer Science: LGBTQ+ Roundtable

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



AND for the very first time, this podcast is also available as
video!! See the video here https://youtu.be/yjhXxX27jd0
