Abstract
City-wide collaboration will provide training in social justice informatics, producing collaborative cross-institutional research teams with faculty fellows with diverse backgrounds and expertise. The inaugural Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) Conference on Undergraduate Informatics Education brought together educators from across disciplines to explore how to prepare undergraduate students for careers in the public and non-profit sectors, and serve the public interest, particularly in support of social justice. The 1.5-day event included stimulating presentations and discussions that helped define what undergraduate education for public interest technology looks like and shared best practices and pedagogies for undergraduate informatics education.
