SUMMARY:From a Canary in the Mine to Inclusion: Balancing Critical Mass wi
 th Integration in the Mainstream
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nFrom a Canary in the Mine to Inclusion: Balan
 cing Critical Mass with Integration in the Mainstream\n\nLeung\n\nThe curr
 ent participation by women and minorities and others underrepresented in c
 omputational science and engineering (CSE) suggests scientists from underr
 epresented groups, in many cases, are the only ones or one of just a few i
 n otherwise majority groups; that is the only female, Black, Hispanic, or 
 Native American, etc. in a predominantly white male group. The small repre
 sentation leads to feelings of isolation and low self-efficacy and/or lack
  of belonging. To combat this situation, critical mass, that is larger gro
 ups of underrepresented individuals, is needed, thereby reducing the sense
  of “I’m the only one”. Diversity focused organizations have demonstrated 
 success with this approach. However, returning to environments where under
 representation is dominant continues to be problematic. Also essential is 
 the balance of subgroups where minority members achieve critical mass, wit
 h integration into the overall group through activities that promote respe
 ct. Techniques for how to achieve this balance are described utilizing an 
 iterative series of inversions.\n\nDomain: Computer Science and Applied Ma
