AERA President Jeannie Oakes will give the 2016 Presidential Address, which will be centered around the meeting's theme, "Public Scholarship to Educate Diverse Democracies." As AERA turns the page to its next century, her address will examine the contributions education research can and should make to educating diverse democracies well and fairly. Reflecting back and looking forward, she will argue that the field must support, strengthen, lift up, and celebrate the work of public scholars who produce and use knowledge in concert with educators, activists, and communities struggling to bring the shifts in cultural values and political power that healthy diverse democracies require.
Following the address, Oakes will pass the proverbial torch to AERA President-Elect Vivian L. Gadsden who will begin her term at the conclusion of the conference.
A celebratory champagne reception will follow the address.

AERA E.F. Lindquist Award (2015) Lecture: Howard Wainer
Four Easy Pieces
10:35 a.m. to 12:05 p.m., Convention Center, Level Two, Room 206
Link to Session
The E.F. Lindquist Award Lecture will be given by Howard Wainer, Distinguished Research Scientist at the National Board of Medical Examiners and Emeritus Professor (adjunct) of Statistics at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Wainer has a long-standing interest in the use of graphical methods for data analysis and communication, robust statistical methodology, and the development and application of generalizations of item response theory.—will consider the contribution critical race theory (CRT) has made to educational scholarship and examine the progress made in terms of the field’s understanding of racial inequity in education since CRT was first introduced to the field.
AERA Distinguished Contributions to Research in Education Award (2014) Address: Douglas Fuchs and Lynn Fuchs
The Distinguished Contributions to Research in Education Award will be given by Douglas Fuchs (Vanderbilt University) and Lynn Fuchs (Vanderbilt University) and will center around their paper “The Changing Counterfactual in Schools and Classrooms: Implications for Educational Research.”
Public Scholarship and Immigrant Students and Families: Leveraging Community and Research Partnerships
Focusing on the education of undocumented students and students from mixed-status families, this panel of educators, immigrant advocates, political leaders, journalists, lawyers and researchers examines the potential of public scholarship to advance equitable, research-informed immigration and education policies. Session participants include Marcelo M. Suarez-Orozco (University of California – Los Angeles), Roberto G. Gonzales (Harvard University), Laura M. Bohórquez García (United We Dream), Apolonio Morales (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles), Sandra Lucia Osorio (Illinois State University), and Samuel Orozco (Radio Billingüe).
Public Scholars on the Social Impact of School-Related Inequalities: Perspectives from Multiple Disciplines
Recent research provides strong evidence that unequal educational outcomes between richer and poorer students are due in part to curricular inequalities occurring within schools and between schools. Accordingly, rather than ameliorating background inequalities, the U.S. educational system may be exacerbating them. This session premiers a new short video—an artifact of public scholarship that communicates these research findings. Scholars from multiple disciplinary perspectives (sociology, economics, political science, and educational theory) will discuss implications of this research. Session participants include Greg Duncan (University of California – Irvine), Jennifer Jennings (New York University), Debra Satz (Stanford University), Bob Wise (Alliance for Excellent Education), Michael Cohen (Achieve).
