Dr. Pooja Saxena's research brings together sociocultural aspects of learning theories and education policy to advance our understanding of the sociocultural structures that impact institutional policy and reproduce themselves to impact women’s achievement behavior and aspirations in STEM fields, especially computer science. She is interested in investigating the early experiences that motivate women to shape their computing attitudes, their experience with technology, their future aspirations, and the barriers to achieving their goals that they believe exist. Saxena draws from critical theories and learning theories to understand both situated and cognitive aspects of women’s computational thinking as they intersect with race, caste, class, ethnicity, and nationality.
