This blog post is the eighth, and final, post in a follow-on to our 2021 “The future of computational social science is Black” series, about a Summer Institute in Computational Social Science organized by Howard University and Mathematica. It continues to bring the power of computational social science to the issues of systemic racism and inequality in America. This marks the third iteration of the successful SICSS model being hosted by a Historically Black College or University.

A SICSS-Howard Mathematica 2021 participant shares how he reconnected with others in a meaningful way and grew personally during his virtual SICSS experience.

Paul Decker PhD, president and chief executive officer of Mathematica and nationally recognized expert on policy research, delivered the closing plenary address on Friday, June 25th at SICSS-Howard/Mathematica 2021.

Timnit Gebru, co-founder of Black in AI, advocate for diversity in the field of technology, and Fortune’s Top 50 Leaders in the World in 2021 delivered the keynote address for SICSS-Howard/Mathematica 2021.

The first Summer Institute in Computational Social Science hosted at a Historically Black College or University featured a panel of guest speakers who inspired participants with their research and professional trajectory. Lecture topics include re-entry into the job force for incarcerated people, financial statuses of small businesses in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, social identities and systems of power, and discriminatory bias within technology.

SICSS-Howard/Mathematica participants had the benefit of novel Bite-Sized Lunchtime Talks during the inaugural SICSS at a Historically Black College or University. The purpose of this SICSS-H/M specific site innovation was to introduce participants to people and organizations doing impactful and complementary work with data.

Wayne A.I. Frederick, seventeenth president of Howard University, delivered the opening plenary address on Sunday, June 13th at the end of SICSS-Howard/Mathematica 2021’s pre-institute, Praxis to Power.
