2024 Outstanding Achievement in Arts & Learning Award Call
The AERA Arts & Learning SIG Awards Committee invites entries for the annual
Outstanding Achievement in Arts & Learning Award. The award will be presented at a
business meeting of the A&L SIG at the Annual Meeting of AERA.
CRITERIA
The award will be presented annually to scholars whose collected body of work has
made a substantive contribution to the field of Arts and Learning, as evidenced through
publication, presentation of scholarly work at academic and professional conferences,
and, when appropriate, supplementary creative work related to the scholar’s research.
ELIGIBILITY
Nominees must have developed a body of work that has made a substantive
contribution to the field of Arts and Learning. Nominees may be at any stage in their
career; this is not intended as a lifetime achievement award (though senior scholars are
eligible to receive it). Membership in AERA and the SIG is not required to be nominated
or to be a recipient of an award.

The nominee’s curriculum vitae.

of Arts and Learning. Evidence of such a contribution may take the form of publications,
presentation of scholarly work at academic and professional conferences, and, when
appropriate, supplementary creative work related to the scholar’s research.
