Call for Applications

Purpose and overview: The American Educational Research Association (AERA) and the Association of Black Sociologists (ABS) announce a joint professional development training workshop for advanced graduate students who are examining an education research topic from a sociological perspective. This workshop will provide advanced graduate students with mentoring and guidance on their dissertation and give them insight into publishing their work. A small group of senior scholars will review graduate students’ dissertation research (i.e., manuscripts, chapter drafts, preliminary findings, etc.) and lead workshop activities. All graduate students’ research will focus on an area in education research and/or sociology of education. This includes but is not limited to topics such as school structures, school climate, school financing, learning contexts, issues in higher education, children and youth, or student achievement. In the workshop participants will discuss the intersection of race, class, and gender with these education research topics.
