Maisha Winn (University of Wisconsin - Madison)

Maisha Winn and Mariana Souto-Manning have been appointed coeditors for the 2017 edition (volume 41) of Review of Research in Education (RRE), the annual AERA journal that focuses on a chosen topic every year.

AERA 2015 President Joyce King appointed the editors, concluding a process that began in the summer of 2014 with a call for nominations, followed by candidate applications and Publications Committee deliberations. The topic for the 2017 volume will be “Disrupting Inequality through Education Research.” Like the 2016 centennial volume of RRE, the 2017 volume will also follow an open call model. The call for proposals will be released late this summer with a due date in the fall.

“I am very pleased to have Maisha Winn and Mariana Souto-Manning on board as coeditors of the 2017 volume of RRE,” said Executive Director Felice J. Levine. “The combination of these excellent scholars and a timely topic should yield a significant work that contributes to knowledge and stimulates future inquiry. An open call will only add to that promise.”

Cellmer Endowed Chair in English Education and Professor in Language and Literacy in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Education.
