AERA has made a modest adjustment to the program in order to create a one-hour plenary session. On Monday, sessions will begin at 7:45 a.m. rather than the traditional 8:15 a.m. Additionally, there will only be 15 minutes (instead of 20) between all session time slots throughout the entire day. After Dr. Biden’s session, afternoon sessions will resume at 2:45 p.m. Please check the

Opening Plenary Session and Gala to Celebrate Centennial Year
The Centennial Annual Meeting's Opening Plenary Session and Gala will celebrate AERA’s 100-year milestone in grand style. Together, the elements of this energizing and dynamic opening session will commemorate the association’s history, highlight the breadth and unity of the field of education research as it has evolved around the world, and begin to explore second-century pathways for advancing AERA’s mission.
The centerpiece of the opening plenary session will be a Town Hall discussion that takes a critical look at the current “State of the Field” for education research – taking stock of its complex history and imagining its future. Donna E. Shalala (
Clinton Foundation)
will moderate the forum, with Patricia A. Alexander (
University of Maryland, College Park
), Patricia Albjerg Graham (
Harvard University

AERA Presidential Address
AERA President Jeannie Oakes to Address Annual Meeting on Sunday, April 10
AERA President Jeannie Oakes will give the 2016 Presidential Address, which will be centered around the meeting's theme, "Public Scholarship to Educate Diverse Democracies." As AERA turns the page to its next century, her address will examine the contributions education research can and should make to educating diverse democracies well and fairly. Reflecting back and looking forward, she will argue that the field must support, strengthen, lift up, and celebrate the work of public scholars who produce and use knowledge in concert with educators, activists, and communities struggling to bring the shifts in cultural values and political power that healthy diverse democracies require.
Following the address, Oakes will pass the proverbial torch to AERA President-Elect Vivian L. Gadsden who will begin her term at the conclusion of the conference.
A celebratory champagne reception will follow the address.
