Please encourage graduate students and early career scholars to join the SIG and bring their perspectives into the SIG conversations. After all, the SIG, much the same as Dewey’s legacy, is only as strong and enduring as the SIG’s membership. We look forward to AERA 2022 and to collectively growing the Dewey Studies SIG membership, renewing and revitalizing our commitments.

Sincerely,
Margaret Macintyre Latta, Chair, Dewey Studies SIG, AERA
Carol Rodgers, Program Chair, Dewey Studies SIG, AERA
