Call for Proposals
Graduate Student Council Invited Poster Session & Fireside Chat
Hosted by the Critical Examination of Race, Ethnicity, Class, and Gender SIG/AERA
Conceptualizing, developing, initiating, and implementing research as a graduate student provides multiple lessons simultaneously. All of these lessons must be integrated into the current knowledge base. Research that examines and/or interprets within the context of multiple identities provides graduate student scholars additional challenges in their development.
Valuing such research at the early stages of scholarly development fosters the continuation of this work and the perspectives it brings to the body of knowledge in education. The Critical Examination of Race, Ethnicity, Class, and Gender SIG of AERA invites graduate students conducting research at the intersections to submit proposals for an invited poster session to be held at the 2010 Annual Meeting of AERA in Denver, Colorado.
