ALM Graduate Receives Book Award
Jane Margolis, ALM '85, received the 2003 Frandson Award for Literature from the University Continuing Education Association for her recent book Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing (MIT Press, 2002). The book, coauthored with Allan Fisher, investigates the familial, educational, and institutional origins of the computing gender gap. The book is based on interviews with more than 100 computer science students of both sexes from Carnegie Mellon University over four years, as well as classroom observations and conversations with hundreds of college and high school faculty. Margolis is currently a researcher at the Graduate School of Education and Information Systems at the University of California Los Angeles. She received her ALM in Psychology from the Harvard Extension School and her EdD from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She taught a course on gender and language at the Harvard Extension School in the early 1990s. The award is given in memory of Phillip E. Frandson, Dean of Extension, University of California Los Angeles and National University Continuing Education Association President, 1977–78.© 2003 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College Comments.
