The UGA Libraries and Willson Center for Humanities DigiLab is hosting a panel discussing the experiences of women in coding. Topics to be discussed relate to gender diversity in computer science and computational methods, including issues with computer coding as a profession, coding as part of research methods, and classroom experiences learning coding. Panel participants are members of R Ladies of Athens and UGA's girls.code.

Digital libraries of primary sources enrich our understanding of the sheer diversity of the American experience.
