Conferences are Exclusive by Nature
- This paper presents a perspective on equity by examining the inherent exclusivity of academic conferences within the context of computing education research. Our perspective delves into unequal opportunities faced by (young) researchers, which are rooted in the challenges of limited mobility, finances, and, for example, family obligations preventing equitable participation. By identifying and interrogating these barriers, the paper advocates for a reevaluation of conference structures to foster inclusivity and address the systemic issues that disproportionately impact certain demographics. Therefore, this paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on equity within academic spaces, urging a transformative approach to conference organization.
