摘要
Race and gender are crucial concepts in the computer science (CS) education research community's broadening participation efforts and scholarship. They help to critique the ways that white supremacy, anti-Blackness, and patriarchy structure and discipline CS classrooms and workplaces. In addition, attention to race and gender has helped to reimagine and redesign CS education to be more culturally responsive and sustaining for marginalized students. This panel builds on these foundational efforts by starting a conversation about what a more intentional focus on the concept of class and its connections to political economy can offer researchers and educators who are committed to more race and gender inclusivity, diversity, and equity in CS education across primary, secondary, and post-secondary levels. What might the concept introduce into intersectional analyses of the exclusionary structures of the education-to-workforce CS ''pipeline''? How might class be defined to help redesign CS education to affirm the identities of racially marginalized students from working class communities? How might the language of class provide new insights into the ways that racism, sexism, and ableism shape CS education? What might the operationalization of the concept help to reveal about the economic interests that underpin mainstream CS curricula and education policies? And how might class help CS professionals and educators understand their own social positions? Through a discussion with researchers and practitioners from different disciplinary backgrounds and theoretical orientations, this panel seeks to provide a foundation for more intentional and rigorous engagements with the concept of class within the CS education research community.

种族和性别是计算机科学（CS）教育研究团体扩大参与努力和学术研究的重要概念。 他们有助于批判白人至上、反黑、父权制结构以及管教CS课堂和工作场所的方式。 此外，对种族和性别的关注有助于重新构想和重新设计CS教育，使其更符合文化，更有利于边缘化学生。 本专题小组以这些基础性工作为基础，开始对话，讨论如何更有意地关注阶级概念及其与政治经济的关系，为致力于在小学、中学和中学后各级CS教育中实现更多种族和性别包容性、多样性和公平性的研究人员和教育者提供帮助。 这个概念可以引入教育到劳动力的CS“管道”的排他性结构的交叉分析? 如何界定阶级，以帮助重新设计CS教育，以确认来自工人阶级社区的种族边缘化学生的身份? 课堂语言如何为种族主义、性别歧视和能力主义塑造CS教育的方式提供新的见解? 概念的实施可能有助于揭示支撑主流CS课程和教育政策的经济利益? 班级如何帮助CS专业人士和教育工作者了解自己的社会地位? 通过与来自不同学科背景和理论取向的研究人员和从业人员进行讨论，本小组旨在为CS教育研究社区内更有意和更严格地参与课堂概念提供基础。
