DESCRIPTION:By : Diana Franklin - Director of Computer Science Education a
 t CEMSE - University of ChicagoAbstract :\nThe lack of diversity in comput
 er science has far-reaching consequences\, including unfilled jobs\, lower
  product quality\, and continuing structural barriers to underrepresented 
 students. In this talk\, I draw on research in sociology\, psychology and 
 education to hypothesize why females in the United States do not pursue co
 mputer science\, what obstacles those who do pursue it face\, and what stu
 dents and faculty can do to recruit and retain females in computer science
 .Bio :\nDiana Franklin is the Director of Computer Science Education at CE
 MSE. From 2008-2015\, she was tenured teaching faculty at UC Santa Barbara
 \, where she won two teaching awards.  Franklin received her Ph.D. from U
