SUMMARY:We Need to Talk About Labels
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nWe Need to Talk About Labels\n\nChue Hong\n\n
 Scientific computing has the potential to be an inclusive force for progre
 ss, but in many fields the diversity of participants could be improved. Ho
 wever, the understanding of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the scienti
 fic computing community can be hindered by the indiscrimate use of labels.
  These labels may make it easier for data to be collected, but cause probl
 ems in understanding the individual challenges that people may face and id
 entifying underrepresentation in scientific computing and research softwar
 e engineering. An example from the UK is the use of the term BAME (Black, 
 Asian and Minority Ethnic) to examine ethnicity: in research and in scient
 ific computing in the UK, the experiences and challenges of Black people a
 nd Asian people differ considerably. I will argue that the use of broad la
 bels has the potential to both help and hinder inclusion in scientific com
 puting, drawing on studies the Software Sustainability Institute has been 
 carrying out with our collaborators to investigate the use of software in 
 research.\n\nDomain: Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, Humanities
