Announcing the selections for #SIGCSEReads 2027! #TS2026
We are looking at ways to extend our thinking about who benefits from technology and how. For non-fiction, we have Against Technoableism by Ashley Shew.
So glad that #SIGCSE2026 started with love. Thanks @amyko.phd for sharing your story of whatever love. I hope this results in more sharing of love with our students, whole people that they and we are.
This and a panel on "Learning Persistence & Resistance from History & SIGCSE Reads" - two great reasons to attend the #SIGCSE Symposium this year.
The undergrads at the symposium were really impressive this year! Thanks for the call to action. It's been tough to figure out the best way to suit up.
We have a great novel to enjoy: Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
And for a quicker read, a short story set in Saint Louis by Annalee Newitz “When Robot and Crow Saved East Saint Louis” (available online).
Please enjoy the selections and join us for conversations about them in St. Louis in 2026!
For non-fiction, we have Whistleblower by Susan Fowler.
And new this year, a podcast: check out Modern Figures, especially episode #4 (modernfigurespodcast.com/computer-sci...).
