About AERA Annual Meetings

Annual Meeting Ombuds Program

The AERA Ombuds is a new resource that was introduced to attendees during the 2019 Annual Meeting in Toronto. The ombuds is a neutral, confidential, informal, and independent resource who will be available to hear meeting attendees’ concerns and can assist them by identifying options and resources to resolve conflicts or issues – including harassment, discrimination, or any violation of the AERA Ethics Code or Standards of Conduct. 

The Ombuds Role at the AERA Annual Meeting is to…
  • Listen and understand your concerns, neutrally and confidentially
  • Identify and discuss the range of options available to you
  • Provide guidance and resources for understanding how to resolve conflicts or address concerns about unethical or inappropriate behavior
  • Inform you about and explain options for formally reporting misconduct to AERA
  • Offer support and guidance even if you choose not to file a formal report or complaint
