About this title

Review:

""Stuck in the Shallow End" is an insightful, nuanced view into a complex set of problems. In the end, this book gives us hope that there are solutions. Jane Margolis and her colleagues show us the insights that social science can offer us in trying to understand (and meet!) the challenge of broadening participation in computing."--Mark Guzdial, School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology
