2019 American Educational Research Association (AERA) Annual Meeting

Meeting theme: Leveraging Education Research in a "Post-Truth" Era:  Multimodal Narrative to Democratize Evidence

http://www.aera.net/Events-Meetings/Annual-Meeting/2019-Annual-Meeting-T...

Multiple subthemes can be derived from this year’s theme that connect with the research interests and agendas of many AERA members and others participating in our Annual Meeting.  A few examples include:
 

1.   The relationship between a “post-truth” politics and the exacerbation of racial, class, and gender inequality in education policy and practice from pre-K through higher education.

2.   Strategies to address the marginalization of the empirical research and knowledge of our field to ensure that it informs the development of professionals and their practice.

3.   The relationship between the measures used to evaluate students, educators, schools, universities and workforce development in a standardized-test-driven system and the evidence on developmental psychology, culturally relevant ways of knowing, and the racial hierarchy that too often defines our field.
