The Karen King Future Leader Award recognizes graduate students, following in Dr. King’s scholarly footsteps, who demonstrate exemplary promise as future leaders of mathematics education researchers who are committed to 1) academic innovation in the areas of equity; 2) community engagement; and 3) teaching and research.  The award includes a stipend of $500, an announcement in the SIG-RME newsletter and on the SIG-RME website, and recognition at the AERA Annual Conference.

The graduate student must hold student status in January 2023 and have successfully passed their qualifying exam or equivalent. They will be nominated by a faculty member or administrator.

A winner is selected based upon demonstrated promise as a future leader of mathematics education research and commitments to 1) academic innovation in the areas of equity; 2) community engagement; and 3) teaching and research.
