Campus Liaisons Subcommittee (CL)
Currently, we have Division G college/university partnerships with 28 institutions across the country. This is a significant increase (50%) from 2014-2015 when we had 10 partner institutions. Graduate students serve as liaisons between AERA and their campuses across the country by connecting AERA to graduate students, institutions, faculty, and facilitating the conversations held at the annual conference throughout the year. At each institution, these liaisons create and coordinate events of interest for AERA Division G members. We have also created structures for sustaining for future campus liaison members (e.g. documents that explain how campus liaison role is defined, creating a welcome packet, highlighting events other campuses have offered, etc.).

Mentoring Subcommittee (MT)
The mentoring subcommittee is planning a Mentoring Pre-Conference program (MPP) to take place the first day of the 2016 Annual Meeting in Washington, DC. Currently, we are targeting graduate students at various stages in their respective programs. This half-day workshop is designed to provide resources for graduate students and facilitate relationships with faculty, helping to create a network of mentors to troubleshoot issues and contact for support.

My research focuses on the ways symbolic violence is enacted against racially and culturally marginalized students in U.S. K-12 institutions. More importantly, it serves as a means to explore how students themselves can begin to challenge these covert, yet grossly dehumanizing practices.
