The American Educational Research Association (AERA)
Adopted by AERA Council in June 2004, Reaffirmed January 2006
As an elaboration of its general research mission, AERA commits itself:
to promote diversity and inclusiveness in AERA; that is, that all AERA members and participants in its activities have open access and opportunity (e.g., as officers or other leadership roles in SIGs, Divisions, or AERA-wide; in publishing, in Annual Meeting participation, or in AERA-sponsored activity);
to promote social justice principles and policies in the conduct of education research; that is, in funding of research and training;
to promote activities (e.g., through the work of the Organization of Institutional Affiliates, in AERA's education and training programs) that foster a diverse community of education researchers; and
to disseminate and promote the use of research knowledge and stimulate interest in research on social justice issues related to education.
