"On the 65th anniversary of the Brown decision, AERA reaffirms its commitment to sound research that advances diversity, equity, and inclusion in education and the use of evidence to guide policy and practice." - AERA Executive Director Felice J. Levine

Webcasts of the past 15 AERA Brown Lectures in Education Research are available on the AERA YouTube channel, and additional information about past Brown Lectures is available here. 

AERA extends its sympathy to the family, friends, and community of STEM School Highlands Ranch affected by the event—which comes just a week after a similar tragedy at UNC Charlotte. It is far too frequent that AERA needs to issue statements and urge essential research and evidence-based policies and programs to prevent gun violence and improve school climates. AERA held a Town Hall to examine the dynamics and patterns of gun violence in U.S. schools and communities during its 2019 Annual Meeting.

The 2019 AERA Annual Meeting brought more than 14,000 scholars, policy leaders, students, and practitioners to Toronto, Canada, for the largest education research conference in the world. Webcasts of 16 major sessions, including the Opening Plenary, Presidential Address, and more, are now available on the AERA YouTube channel. 

Shaun Harper, a Provost Professor in the Rossier School of Education and Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California, has been voted president-elect of the AERA. Read the press release
