盲人或低视力（BLV）学生大学毕业的可能性较低，尤其是在计算领域。先前的研究记录了高中和大学阶段的无障碍挑战，但我们缺乏对产生这种“泄漏管道”的过渡过程的理解。为解决这一问题，我们访谈了十名学习计算的BLV大学生，了解他们上大学学习计算的经历。我们通过生活过渡的视角，特别是交叉阈限性，分析了数据。我们的研究发现，一些BLV学生面临如此巨大的数字无障碍和大学适应障碍，以至于作为编码者前进的唯一途径是承担“第二份工作”——作为盲人倡导者，或者退出计算专业。我们认为，大学过渡是分析和进行技术干预的关键点，并且交叉阈限性为HCI学者提供了一个有用的视角，以揭示阻碍部分BLV学生完成计算学位的复合性挑战。
英文摘要
Blind or low vision (BLV) students are less likely to graduate from college, particularly in computing. Prior work documents accessibility challenges in high school and college, but we lack understanding of the transition process that produces this "leaky pipeline." To address this, we interviewed ten BLV college students about going to college to study computing. We analyzed our data through the lens of life transition, specifically Intersecting Liminality. Our findings reveal that some BLV students face such immense digital accessibility and college acclimation barriers that the only way forward as coders is to take on a "second job" as a blind advocate or drop out of the computing major. We argue that the college transition is a critical point for analysis and technological intervention, and further, that Intersecting Liminality provides a useful lens for HCI scholars to unpack the compounding challenges that prevent some BLV students from completing computing degrees.
