Sixty seven scholars, 84 sessions and two former American Educational Research Association (AERA) presidents. From April 13 to 16, the 2023 AERA Annual Meeting—the nation’s largest gathering of education researchers—is heading to Chicago along with USC Rossier faculty and doctoral students.
The theme Interrogating Consequential Education Research in Pursuit of Truth seeks to answer questions like how do people interpret education research when making policy judgements, and what research do people engage when making a case for history courses taught in schools? “The theme has an intentional intellectual, dialogic and practical focus,” said AERA President H. Richard Milner, IV, from Vanderbilt University. “We welcome innovations and novelty in studying and advancing quality consequential research.”
During the four-day conference, USC Rossier presentations and sessions will focus on addressing those critical issues in higher education research. Talk highlights include “Emerging Evidence on Implementing High-Impact Tutoring at Scale” with Professor Patricia Burch, “Critical Race Theory, Truth-Telling, and Consequential Education Research" with Professor Jessica T. Decuir-Gunby and “Promoting Low-Income College Student Success Through Peer Mentoring: A Mixed-Methods Examination” with Professor Zoë Corwin and Assistant Professor Joseph Kitchen.
USC Rossier will host a reception to celebrate scholars—faculty and PhD students—for their recent achievements. Professors Jessica T. DeCuir-Gunby and Christopher Emdin were both selected to join the Class of 2023 AERA Fellows; Emdin also received the AERA 2023 Exemplary Contributions to Practice-Engaged Research Award. In addition, Mary Helen Immordino-Yang was elected to the National Academy of Education. Additional USC Rossier scholars to be recognized include:
- Shafiqa Ahmadi, 2023 AERA Religion & Education SIG Distinguished Scholar Award
- Stephen Aguilar, 2023 AERA Division C Early Career Award
Dissertations Awards:
- Eupha Jeanne Daramola, Division L Dissertation Award
