Computing Educators Oral History Project:

A project is currently under way for the collection and transcription of interviews of women computing educators. The first phase of this project culminated in the paper ["Building a Sense of History: Narratives and Pathways of Women Computing Educators", Almstrum, V., Barker, L.,Owens, B., et al. inroads - the SIGCSE Bulletin,Volume 37, Number 4, 2005 December, pp. 173-189.] outlining the goals and procedures as developed by a working group at the 10th Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education.

Quoting from the abstract: "This endeavor will eventually create a body of narratives to serve as role models to attract students, in particular women, to computing; it will also serve to preserve the history of the female pioneers in computing education."

Further work will include a set of interviews balanced as to gender, nationality, age, institution type and ethnicity.
