In this episode, we talk with Nicki Washington, a full Professor of the Practice at Duke University, about cultural competence. We discuss the definition of cultural competence. Its history, why we should care, and what it means in the context of computer science. We also talked about Nicki's new class on this topic and her 3C Fellows program. Finally, we close with a call to action. Many people and organizations have started learning, reading, and making commitments. What needs to happen next is to start executing plans and iterating on them quickly (agile method style). We need to hold people accountable because reading and planning aren't enough. Our discussion did not close with a too long; didn't listen segment, except simply "get uncomfortable and listen to the whole episode."

Nicki mentioned many resources during our discussion. We have done our best to link to them in the transcript.
