Jane Margolis

Senior Researcher, UCLA

Dr. Margolis is a researcher at UCLA’s Center X, where she investigates why so few women and students of color work in computer science. Based on research discussed in her books, “Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing” and “Stuck in the Shallow End: Education, Race, and Computing,” she and her Center X colleagues, with support from the National Science Foundation, created Exploring Computer Science (ECS), a high school curriculum and teacher professional development program committed to reaching all students, especially those in underserved communities and schools.
