Social Science Network

CAHSI has established the Social Science Network, a network of social scientists who are interested in recruitment, retention, and advancement of Hispanic students and faculty in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in general and computing and information science and engineering (CISE) in particular. The purpose of the Social Science Network is to enhance the understanding of CAHSI as to the causes and issues related to Hispanics entering, persisting and progressing in computing. The SSN is to contribute to CAHSI by stimulating or conducting new research to better understand underlying issues in the CAHSI effort, refining interventions, and devising new ones. The core members of the Social Science Network are:

• Sara Hug, Alliance for Technology, Learning & Society, University of Colorado Boulder
• Amaury Nora, University of Houston
• Maricel Quintana-Baker, State Council of Higher Education for Virginia
• Alexander Ramirez, Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU)
• Carlos Rodriguez, American Institutes for Research (AIR)
