Dr. Patricia Garcia is an Assistant Professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. Her research involves designing computing education programs that support girls of color in situating their computing identities within broader self-concepts and in ways that highlight how the intersections of race and gender can function as sources of power, rather than simply sites of marginalization. Her current NSF CAREER project is a partnership with public libraries that examines how a computational justice program model can support girls of color (ages 13-16) develop agentic computing identities.
