Weparticularly expect that intentional work will be needed to uncover the as-yet poorly understoodecosystem surrounding TNB computing students, their advocates, and their allies. In particular,we see a clear need to understand intersections with race and disability, as the 2015 U.S.Transgender Survey showed that TNB people of color and people with disabilities had worseoutcomes than their already marginalized peers [3]. In order to be a force for change for thisgoal, we held a virtual workshop to develop a research agenda that includes TNB students inBPC/BPE for inclusive and intersectional policy, practices, and

, many researchers and educators areinvestigating anxiety interventions and their effects on student outcomes in science andengineering courses to improve student outcomes for underrepresented groups in STEM[12–15].For instance, Harris et al. tested the effectiveness of test anxiety interventions such as expressivewriting and reappraising physiological arousal on exam performance [13]. They found that theseinterventions, though they did not change the level of self-reported test anxiety in students, didincrease exam performance. Other studies have similarly shown that expressive writing exercisescan be effective in increasing cognitive abilities, particularly when performing problems requiringa high working memory [14].

. Johnson et al. write, “…there is nothing special about the waterthat stays in the pipe and that which leaks” [7, p. 342]. Still others note that careers are morecomplex than the “leaking only” action of the pipeline – some successful scientists may leaveand then return, or may find fulfillment in other fields [22]. As an alternative, authors haveproposed other models, such as Etzkowitz’s [23] “vanish box” in which underrepresentedstudents (women, in particular) tend to vanish from scientific careers, but reappear in careers thatcombine science with business or communication skills. Perna [24] also suggests a “multiplepathways” model, which has been picked up by advocates for minority engineers [19]. Perna’smodel allows for alternate routes within
