Last week, I presented my paper "Crossing the threshold: pathways into makerspaces for women at the intersectional margins" (https://t.co/TIwScBTznK) at #CSCW2023 in #minneapolis. It won #bestpaper and recognition for contribution to #diversityandinclusion!

Last week, I attended my first international conference as an academic, #CSCW2023, in #minneapolis . Undertaking my #PhD during a #pandemic prevented any prior in-person conferences taking place, so it was tremendous to be able to connect with peers from around the globe.

Rosa Parks sparked a movement on this day in 1955 when she refused to give up her bus seat. Today, let’s honor her legacy and the courage she embodied by living by her words: "To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try."
