If you want to spend a life studying literary/cultural history, the path of least resistance rn is clear. Go to grad school in CS or Information Science & take courses in the humanities. There are a thousand interesting research questions down that road, and there are jobs.
The CS with the white supremacy, toxic masculinity, fascist, racist as hell, homophobic to students, faculty, and people working in the industry? So who is going to get these jobs other than white cisgendered men?

STEM w/out analysis, historiography, or a basic understanding of how toxic white racist and sexist CS is, will only "save" white men. This is the vision for who?

See the ppl I've recently RTd on my timeline. In practice, very few people who've taken this path are white cisgendered men. It tends to appeal to people who are in CS but looking for an alternative to dominant CS values.

There's also Information Science, which is (in many universities) a discipline very different from CS. Safiya Noble, for instance, has an IS Ph.D; Tressie McMillan Cottom, I believe, is now teaching in an iSchool.
