about

code, decolonized is an initiative and a living archive that researches, experiments, and practices new ways of learning and teaching programming languages for the web through perspectives that are traditionally overlooked and under recognized in the technical classroom.

This collective work started from a teaching practicum course offered at Parsons Design & Technology at the New School, which investigates the ever-shifting roles of software and explore new forms of code pedagogy through queer, black, abolitionist, and intersectional feminist consciousness.

Following bell hook’s vision of “education as the practice of freedom”, this course equips future-educators with tools to reframe their understanding of traditional computer science education and craft socially-engaged course materials.
