SUMMARY:A Black Woman’s Sojourn in High Performance Computing: Recovering 
 Lost History
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nDiversity, Education, Hot Topics, Workshop Reg Pass\
 n\nA Black Woman’s Sojourn in High Performance Computing: Recovering Lost 
 History\n\nMendenhall\n\nIn 1797, Isabella Bomfree was born a slave. She e
 scaped to freedom in 1827 and changed her name to Sojourner Truth in 1843 
 to indicate that she would travel far and wide to tell people what was rig
 ht. She gave her famous “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech in 1851 to highlight the
  strengths and vulnerabilities of being Black and a woman. Throughout hist
 ory, Black women’s lived experiences have often been invisible and erased.
  Therefore, it is important to combat the erasure of Black women and move 
 toward a correction and claiming of their space within the digitized recor
 d. This presentation will discuss a study that employs latent dirichlet al
 location (LDA) algorithms and comparative text mining to search 800,000 pe
 riodicals in JSTOR (Journal Storage) and HathiTrust from 1746 to 2014 to i
 dentify the types of conversations that emerge about Black women's shared 
 experience over time and the resulting knowledge that developed. This pres
 entation will also discuss what attracted Mendenhall to HPC, what she sees
  as the strengths of HPC and her plans for future research which involves 
 developing a data base with a cohort of 100,000 Black women citizen scient
 ists who will help to conduct and analyze longitudinal research based on t
 heir lived experiences.
