ELPA well-represented at AERA’s 2022 Annual Meeting in San Diego


The American Educational Research Association’s (AERA) 2022 Annual Meeting is being held in San Diego April 21-26.

ELPA logoAnd once again, faculty, staff, and students with the School of Education’s Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis (ELPA) are being well-represented at this major event. According to information collected by the department, 31 sessions taking place during this year’s conference will feature scholars from ELPA: including 24 students and seven faculty members.

If you are attending AERA’s annual meeting in person, we hope to see you at our School of Education reception on Sunday, April 24, from 7 to 9 p.m. (PDT) at the Hard Rock Hotel.

In addition, please let us know if you — or a colleague — are receiving any AERA honors this year so that Dean Hess can give you/them a much-deserved shoutout at the reception.

AERA and its more than 25,000 members from around the world form an interdisciplinary research association that’s devoted to the scientific study of education and learning.
