Below, we present to you a set of reading suggestions created collaboratively (in real time, on an etherpad) during the “Beyond the women in tech talk” panel held at LibrePlanet 2014. This list is the work of a number of different people who attended the panel. A version which shows revision history can be found at http://piratepad.net/lp2014-beyond-women
for those coming to this after not seeing the talk — a list of resources for folks looking to educate themselves.

TNC regularly writes about the black male perspective & helps me understand the (or rather, his) African American perspective. TNC’s audience has a lot of white liberals, and he’s figured out how to make us listen (or me, at least!). (but sometimes he talks about a geeky thing or two like D&D http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/01/growing-up-in-the-caves-of-chaos/267107/ ;-) )
