Explore a thought-provoking lecture that examines the intersection of computational physics education and inclusivity through a queering lens. Delve into innovative approaches for integrating computation into physics education beyond traditional problem-solving frameworks, with particular focus on addressing marginalization and exclusionary practices in computing culture. Learn about a five-year implementation study at Tufts University that emphasizes Making - creating shared physical and digital artifacts to foster creativity and self-expression alongside physics education. Discover how this educational environment centralizes inquiry, agency, and scientific practices while promoting inclusivity. Examine evidence-based outcomes of this implementation, including specific insights on queer student engagement, and gain valuable perspectives on advancing DEIJ (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice) initiatives in computational physics education.
