abstract = "This session will explore the role that academic institutions and computer science departments can play in creating a revolutionary, real, and lasting change in the culture of computer science to create and promote an inclusive culture that values diversity and promotes social justice. 2. OBJECTIVE It is well-documented that women and members of other groups are not well-represented in either education or professions related to computer science [1]. Research has shown that many popularlyheld notions accounting for the disparity are inaccurate or simply false [2]-[7]. While several topical cases at Uber and Google [8]-[10] have reenergized this discussion in the news, in higher education and in industry, it is not a new phenomenon [11]. The phenomenon underpinning these issues reflects historical social barriers, but at the same time the costs of these issues to the future of computer science and society in general are very large [12]. The objective of this special session is to discuss the role of academic institutions and computer science departments in propagating positive, revolutionary change to this culture, and creating and extending research on how it can be done sustainably and in a manner that works within, but extends, existing organizational structures with existing faculty.",
