In this episode we discuss a paper by [Felienne Hermans](https://www.felienne.com) and [Ari Schlesinger](https://arischlesinger.com) titled, [A case for Feminism in Programming Language Design](https://www.felienne.com/archives/8470). It applies the lens of intersectional feminism to reveal a startling lack of ["Yes, and…"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_and...) in academic computer science, where valuable avenues of inquiry are closed off, careers are stifled, and people are unintentionally driven away from contributing to the field, simply because their passions and expertise don't conform to a set of invisible expectations. Through heartbreaking personal anecdotes and extensive supporting references, the paper makes the case that there's a lot of high-value greenfield work to be done, and people who would love to do it — but we will need to collectively identify, understand, and then fix a few broken incentives before it'll happen.
