Preface
In recent years, the conversation regarding interdisciplinary computing has moved beyond the boundaries of Computer Science and its related fields, such as Information Technology, Information Systems, and Software Engineering. It now ranges across all fields in academia, from the arts and humanities to the social and natural sciences. This volume has grown out of collaborative work with colleagues across this broad spectrum of disciplines. It originates in conversations hosted by professional organizations related to computing and education (including most notably SIGSCE, the special interest group for computer science education within the Association for Computing Machinery), in multi-disciplinary workshops on the topic, on advisory boa
