AERA is excited to host a dual-component annual meeting for 2023 that will be accessible, flexible, and rewarding for all participants! The place-based component will be held in Chicago April 13 through April 16. The virtual component will be held on an online platform on May 4 and May 5.

The theme for 2023 is “Interrogating Consequential Education Research in Pursuit of Truth.”
What is “truth” and who decides? From what evidence, if any, do people construct their positions about truth as they make decisions concerning education? Education research is too often absent, underrepresented, misinterpreted, under-nuanced, and decontextualized in broader, societal, and public conversations about educational issues in pursuit of truth. From what research and evidence do people consult when making decisions about banning and censoring books and curriculum materials? How do people interpret education research when making policy judgements about Critical Race Theory and its potential effects? From what data repositories do people engage in making a case for what history is and is not taught in schools? When education research is considered, the implications and outcomes for marginalized communities can be harmful or beneficial.  In pursuit of truth, education research needs to be (a) designed to matter in public policy and practice and, concurrently, (b) interrogated to ensure equitable processes and results.
