{"product_id":"stuck-in-the-shallow-end-jane-margolis-9780262533461","title":"Stuck in the Shallow End, Updated Edition: Education, Race, and Computing","description":"\u003cb\u003eWhy so few African American and Latino\/a students study computer science: updated edition of a book that reveals the dynamics of inequality in American schools.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe number of African Americans and Latino\/as receiving undergraduate and advanced degrees in computer science is disproportionately low. And relatively few African American and Latino\/a high school students receive the kind of institutional encouragement, educational opportunities, and preparation needed for them to choose computer science as a field of study and profession. In \u003ci\u003eStuck in the Shallow End, \u003c\/i\u003e Jane Margolis and coauthors look at the daily experiences of students and teachers in three Los Angeles public high schools: an overcrowded urban high school, a math and science magnet school, and a well-funded school in an affluent neighborhood. They find an insidious \"virtual segregation\" that maintains inequality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe race gap in computer science, Margolis discovers, is one example of the way students of color are denied a wide range of occupational and educational futures\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eStuck in the Shallow End\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of how inequality is reproduced in America--and how students and teachers, given the necessary tools, can change the system. Since the 2008 publication of \u003ci\u003eStuck in the Shallow End\u003c\/i\u003e, the book has found an eager audience among teachers, school administrators, and academics. This updated edition offers a new preface detailing the progress in making computer science accessible to all, a new postscript, and discussion questions (coauthored by Jane Margolis and Joanna Goode).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Margolis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262533464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262533461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jane Margolis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994078445823,"sku":"9780262533461","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cafaabac-bab1-492d-bf2c-24a4db6fec12.jpg?v=1683328006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stuck-in-the-shallow-end-jane-margolis-9780262533461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
