Elise Boddie, James V. Campbell Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, will deliver the 2024 Brown Lecture in Education Research on October 24. Her lecture, titled “Brown v. Board of Education and the Democratic Ideals,” will take place on Thursday, October 24, 6:30 p.m. ET, at Howard University in Washington, D.C., and will be livestreamed. The event is free and open to the public. Registration is open now for the in-person event or livestream.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. In 2004, AERA inaugurated the Annual Brown Lecture in Education Research to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court taking sustained and significant research into account in its ruling. Each year, AERA elevates a scholar notable for undertaking such work. For 20 years, distinguished scholars have delivered the Brown Lecture, examining educational equality and equity and the complicated legacy of Brown.
The following resources provide insight and reflection from some of the most accomplished scholars across the field of education research. We encourage you to explore and widely share these resources.
