The AERA Graduate Student Research-in-Progress Roundtable Series is an opportunity for Graduate Student Members of AERA to present their work at the Annual Meeting. This opportunity is intended for graduate students who are engaged in research that is underway, but not yet far enough along to submit to the Annual Meeting Open Call.
The Series includes up to 6 Research-in-Progress Roundtable Sessions at the Annual Meeting each year, with about 15 Roundtable conversations in each session. Each roundtable includes 3-5 presenters and is facilitated by an accomplished education researcher with relevant expertise.
Consistent with the roundtable format, the Research-in-Progress Roundtables are intended to maximize interaction and discussion of each research project.
