The 12 divisions of AERA are organized to represent major scholarly or scientific areas within education research that add to the field and the Association as determined by the AERA Council. Under the leadership of a division vice president, each division is responsible for participating in the open call for submissions and planning division-sponsored sessions for the Annual Meeting; sponsoring graduate student seminars and mentoring activities for emerging scholars and junior faculty members; and facilitating ongoing communications among division members through listserv and social media throughout the year.
