Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Software Engineering: Best Practices and Insights

Daniela Damian is a Professor of Software Engineering at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada. Her teaching approach is experiential-based and in close connection with the software practice. Her SE research informs and is blended into my teaching practices. Her goal is to create a learning environment that prepares students for future real-world software engineering that takes place in collaborative international and multi-cultural teams.

Dr. Kelly Blincoe is a Senior Lecturer of Software Engineering at the University of Auckland, New Zealand in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Software Engineering. She leads the Human Aspects of Software Engineering Lab (HASEL). Her research is mainly in the human and social aspects of software engineering. Current research topics include: software dependencies, software ecosystems, collaborative software development, software requirements engineering, and software developer diversity and inclusion. Her research is currently funded by the Royal Society Te Apārangi's Marsden Fund, the National Science Challenges Science for Technological Innovation's Veracity Spearhead, and Google.

Dr. Denae Ford Robinson is a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research in the SAINTes group and an Affiliate Assistant Professor in the Human Centered Design and Engineering Department at the University of Washington. Her research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Software Engineering. In her work she identifies and dismantles cognitive and social barriers by designing mechanisms to support software developer participation in online socio-technical ecosystems. She is best known for her research on just-in-time mentorship as a mode to empower welcoming engagement in collaborative Q&A for online programming communities including open-source software and work to empower marginalized software developers in online communities.

Alexander Serebrenik is a Professor of Software Evolution at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), The Netherlands. His areas of expertise include both technical and social aspects of software evolution and maintainability, as well as program analysis and transformation. He has been closely involved in a series of industrial projects pertaining to software maintainability assessment, and serves as Steering Committee member of the IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance.

Zainab Masood is working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Software Engineering Global interAction Lab (SEGAL) in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Victoria, Canada. Before that she was working as a Professional Teaching Fellow at the University of Auckland. She also worked as a Research Assistant in the Human Aspects of Software Engineering Lab (HASEL) and Software Engineering Processes, Tools, and Applications (SEPTA) research lab at the University of Auckland. Prior to that, she was working as a Software Tester and Quality Expert in the software industry for more than nine years.

Daniela Damian是加拿大不列顛哥倫比亞省維多利亞大學的軟體工程教授。她的教學方法以實踐為基礎，與軟體實踐密切相關。她的軟體工程研究對我的教學實踐有所啟發並融入其中。她的目標是創造一個學習環境，使學生能夠為未來在國際和多元文化團隊中進行的真實軟體工程做好準備。

Kelly Blincoe博士是紐西蘭奧克蘭大學電機、電腦和軟體工程系的高級講師。她領導軟體工程的人類因素實驗室（HASEL）。她的研究主要涉及軟體工程的人類和社會因素。目前的研究主題包括：軟體相依性、軟體生態系統、協作軟體開發、軟體需求工程以及軟體開發者的多樣性和包容性。她的研究目前由皇家學會Te Apārangi的Marsden基金、國家科學挑戰科技創新的真實性領域和Google資助。

Denae Ford Robinson博士是微軟研究院SAINTes小組的高級研究員，也是華盛頓大學人本設計與工程系的副教授。她的研究位於人機交互和軟體工程的交叉領域。在她的工作中，她通過設計機制來支持軟體開發者參與在線社會技術生態系統中，並識別和消除認知和社會障礙。她以研究即時指導作為一種模式，以促進在線編程社區（包括開源軟體）中的協作問答中的友好參與，並努力賦予在線社區中被邊緣化的軟體開發者力量。

Alexander Serebrenik是荷蘭愛因霍芬科技大學（TU/e）的軟體演化教授。他的專業領域包括軟體演化和可維護性的技術和社會因素，以及程序分析和轉換。他密切參與了一系列與軟體可維護性評估相關的工業項目，並擔任IEEE國際軟體維護會議的指導委員會成員。

Zainab Masood在加拿大維多利亞大學計算機科學系的軟體工程全球互動實驗室（SEGAL）擔任博士後研究員。在此之前，她曾在奧克蘭大學擔任專業教學助理。她還曾在奧克蘭大學的人類軟體工程實驗室（HASEL）和軟體工程流程、工具和應用（SEPTA）研究實驗室擔任研究助理。在此之前，她在軟體行業擔任軟體測試員和質量專家超過九年。
