The purpose of this project is to understand how Black and ally software developers, technologists, and community organizers have used, created, or curated resources to support the experiences of Black people.
In this research project, we will understand the motivations behind building these resources and tools, its impact on the community, and where there may be opportunities for how this specific group can be supported. A mixed methodology approach of semi-structured interviews, surveys, and quantitative analysis will enable the research study team to understand and effectively communicate the impact this group of technologists has had on society.
