AERA President-Elect Joyce King Seeks Nominations for Committee Service

Dear AERA Members:

Each AERA president alerts the membership when the committee appointment process is about to begin. Your professional service is vital to the ongoing work of the Association, and as president-elect, I am pleased to invite you to send me committee nominations—for yourself or colleagues. As members of the largest and the most prestigious association for education research and scholarship in the world, we have both the opportunity and the obligation to be inclusive with regard to our disciplinary perspectives and methodologies. I hope you will be interested in joining me in finding ways to influence the usefulness and rigor of educational research—within the United States and throughout our global community to translate culturally informed knowledge into policy and practice. It is essential that we deepen our collaborative exchanges and broaden AERA’s outreach to constituent groups, from students and schools to families, practitioners, and policy makers. I am looking forward to making appointments to the following committees in the coming months:
