Thousands of scholars from education and aligned fields and disciplines will join together and present their work at the 2021 American Educational Research Association (AERA) virtual meeting, April 8-12, 2021. The theme of this year’s meeting is “Accepting Educational Responsibility.” Education researchers are not merely scholars; we are also citizens of the places in which our scholarship is produced, disseminated, and implemented. Equity and justice in these places depend as much on our deep thinking as they do on what we do with what we know. Racism, xenophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and other manifestations of hate continually poison these places. Mass shootings occur in too many places close to where we live and do our academic work. Sexism, sexual harassment, and sexual assault occur too often within and beyond our workplaces. Myriad consequences of wealth inequity negatively affect people inside of and around the places where many of us think, teach, research, and write. Attendees of the 2021 AERA Annual Meeting will be empowered to accept greater responsibility for social problems that plague places around the world. Our identities as citizens and as scholars will be embraced.
In the past, over 14,000 scholars have attended individual AERA Annual Meetings. This year, Montclair State University and the College of Education and Human Services will be represented by over 50 faculty, staff, and students giving approximately 50 lectures, papers, and discussions at the conference.
Below is a full list of Montclair State University community members who will be presenting, along with their presentation topics and times.
