🚨 Call for Graduate Student Volunteer:

Social Media Manager for AERA Constructivist SIG

The Constructivist Theory, Research, and Practice Special Interest Group (SIG) of AERA is seeking a graduate student volunteer to serve as our Social Media Manager, effective immediately.

Due to an unexpected family health emergency, our social media manager, Allison, has had to step away from this role. We're sending her our full support and appreciation—and we hope to welcome her back to SIG leadership in the future.

In the meantime, we are looking for a graduate student who is excited to help us grow our online presence and connect with fellow constructivist scholars.

Role Highlights:

• Curate and schedule content for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn (and potentially other platforms)
• Promote member accomplishments, SIG news, and AERA conference sessions
• Support community-building and knowledge-sharing in alignment with constructivist values

Ideal Candidate:

• Is currently enrolled in a graduate program (master's or doctoral)
• Has experience or enthusiasm for social media engagement in academic spaces
• Values constructivist approaches to teaching, learning, and research

Note: This is an unpaid, volunteer leadership role within the SIG.

To express interest, please email our current Program Chair and Incoming SIG Chair, Dr. Annemarie Kaczmarczyk, at kaczmarczyk_ab@mercer.edu with a brief message and your CV or resume.

Help us spread the word—especially to graduate students who would be a great fit!
