I grew up in a large and implausibly +diverse family. Through adoption and chance, I have siblings who are +white, black-, and Asian-American, who are gay and straight, and who +have several different native languages. Having worked as humanitarian +medics in the developing world, my parents found ways for their +children to spend time growing up outside the United States. I +finished high school in an Amharic language school in Ethiopia before +returning to the US for college. I am in an interracial marriage to +someone who grew up outside the US. Through these experiences, I +understand some of the challenges and benefits of diversity and have +come to appreciate how privileged I am. + +In my previous work as a leader and professional in free and open +source software (FOSS) projects and firms, I sought to highlight and +address the lack of diversity -- especially gender diversity -- in +FOSS organizations. On my very first day working on the \emph{Ubuntu + Project}, I wrote a ``code of conduct'' designed, in large part, to +increase the diversity of our contributor pool. That document has now +been signed by thousands of participants and has been employed in +dozens of other FOSS organizations. On the board and advisory boards +of several non-profits, I have worked to create and support diverse +staffs and memberships. + +This commitment to diversity has also shaped my research. In a short +working paper with Aaron Shaw, I describe a method to estimate the +diversity of participant pools in online communities by characterizing +and correcting for self-selection bias in online surveys (we +specifically consider diversity in terms of gender, income, and +education in the context of Wikipedia). In a published paper with Leah +Buechley, I evaluate the effect of a new microcontroller platform +designed to increase diversity in hobbyist electronics communities by +increasing the participation of women and girls. That paper is part of +a larger conversation spanning several disciplines that tries to +understand and address under-representation of women in science, +technology, and math -- an issue I am passionate about. I take pride +in the diversity of my group of coauthors. + +In my teaching, I take seriously the challenge of teaching to diverse +audiences. As I explain in my teaching statement, I have found that my +students have an enormous amount to teach me and I strive to learn +from and to adapt both the style and content of my teaching material +to reflect the diversity of my students. This has included mundane but +important steps like learning to lecture more effectively to +non-native English speakers as well as to create content and +syllabuses that are more diverse in the material they include. In +organizing classes, seminars, and lectures, I have found that more +diverse programs are able to attract, and communicate more effectively +to, broad audiences. By bringing in a wide variety of perspectives, a +more diverse program can also support broader, more widely applicable, +and more memorable learning. + +\end{document} + diff --git a/mako-mem.sty
