AERA, a national research society, strives to advance knowledge about education to encourage scholarly inquiry and to promote the use of research to improve education and serve the public good.
Members of AERA belong to one or more of the association’s 12 divisions and over 150 special interest groups (SIGs). Erikson President Mariana Souto-Manning is the 2022-2025 Vice President AERA Division K (Teaching and Teacher Education).
Graduate student members also enjoy ongoing communication and support provided by the Graduate Student Council (GSC). In addition, the AERA Consortium of University and Research Institutions provides a forum for academic institutions, departments, non-university-based research institutions and professional associations to share information about federal education research issues, people and events and shaping policy with research.
This remarkable representation from Erikson illustrates great progress toward Erikson’s goal to contribute to knowledge generation via research.
