The annual William L. Boyd National Educational Politics Workshop, sponsored by the Politics of Education Association (PEA) will be held in concert with the AERA meeting in Philadelphia, PA in April 2024.

Emerging scholars—currently enrolled graduate students and academics/educational researchers who earned their doctoral degrees after March 1, 2023— who have an interest in educational politics will have an opportunity to learn about current and promising research in the politics of education and interact with leading politics and policy of education scholars during the 3-hour in-person workshop.

Applications for emerging scholars to attend the Boyd Workshop will be available in early January. There is no fee to attend, but space is limited. Only applicants whose research interests are clearly tied to education politics will be accepted.

PEA members at advanced assistant professor or possessing an equivalent level of experience (3+ years) are strongly encouraged to consider serving as a mentor to the emerging scholars, sharing your expertise and experiences. Mentor sign-up will begin in early January via an electronic form. Prospective mentors are encouraged to sign-up by the end of February, so that the coordinators can begin the mentor/mentee matching process. Your participation is greatly appreciated!
