Let’s work together towards a healthier, inclusive, and a more compassionate academia.
Greetings! I’m Dr. Raghav V. Sampangi and my pronouns are he/him. I am based in K'jipuktuk (Halifax, Canada) within the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq known as Mi'kma'ki. I am a Senior Instructor of Computer Science at Dalhousie University.
During Sept 2023 - Aug 2024: I’m teaching courses on Web Development (1st year, CSCI 1170), Info Security (2nd year, CSCI 2201), Usable Security and Privacy (4th year/Grad, CSCI 4169 / CSCI 6307), and am developing a new course bringing in lessons from my sabbatical last year.
Teaching, research & service
I currently teach courses on web development and security and privacy.
My research interests include topics around compassionate practices and belonging in teaching and learning, and usable security and privacy.
I am a Cultural Competence in Computing (3C) Fellow at Duke University and an affiliate of the Alliance for Identity-Inclusive Computing Education (AiiCE).
Currently, I serve as a Co-Lead of the D-LITE Belong Cluster and a Faculty Associate at the Dalhousie Centre for Learning and Teaching. As of January 2023, I am one of the Co-Leads of the Halifax Chapter of Canada Learning Code.
Working towards a healthier and inclusive academia
Being compassionate in our teaching, policies and our actions is the minimum we can do as we support each other in our shared humanity.
I am an action-oriented advocate for mental and emotional health and well-being, and inclusion. In this endeavour, I’m learning from and volunteering with Dragonfly Mental Health (the global consortium for academic mental health). I have been an active volunteer with PhD Balance in the past as well.
I am also one of the co-founders of the READI Group through which we work towards developing a more inclusive culture in academia.
