AERA

Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) provide a forum within AERA for the involvement of individuals drawn together by a common interest in a field of study, teaching, or research when the existing divisional structure may not directly facilitate such activity. The Association provides SIGs program time at the Annual Meeting, publicity, scheduling, staff support, viability, and the prestige of AERA affiliation.

Important News
With the recommendation of the SIG Executive Committee, the AERA Council has approved a moratorium on the review and approval of petitions for new SIGs. The moratorium is in effect from July 1, 2009 through December 2010 to allow the SIG Executive Committee to undertake a comprehensive review of the formation and continuation of SIGs within AERA.
