About Us

We are an intergenerational Northwestern organizing group of former TAs and students, current professors, and learners across disciplines (e.g., philosophy, computer science, learning sciences). Collectively, our expertise varies within and beyond computing into areas we believe are essential to thinking through ethics, including responsible AI, anti-Blackness in CS ed, dis/ability and accessibility, diversity and inclusion, and moral philosophy. These perspectives inform our approach to ethics, collectively understanding and addressing the systemic issues at play. Our community approach ensures everyone’s ideas and expertise are included while complementing each other’s strengths.
