The editor-in-chief and coeditors of the journal Educational Researcher (ER), including UW–Madison’s Anjalé (AJ) Welton, have shared a vision for their term (2024-2026) in an Editors’ Introduction, now available online.
Welton, a coeditor of ER, is the Rupple-Bascom Professor of Education and chair of the School of Education’s Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis. Her scholarship examines how educational leaders both dialogue about and address race and racism in their school communities.
The ER editorial team also includes Editor-in-Chief Nicholas A. Bowman and coeditors Olusola O. Adesope, Brian P. An, Royel M. Johnson, and Angela Urick.
In their introduction, “the editors thank the outgoing editorial team and discuss how they plan to uphold the standards of the journal while also continuing to extend its breadth and impact,” explains an article from the American Educational Research Association (AERA), which publishes ER.
“As a team with purposeful diversity, they aim to use a range of perspectives and methods to inform policy, practice, and the discourse surrounding education, inviting readers’ suggestions, insights, and contributions in the process.”
The editors also describe their strategic directions for the journal, and provide insight into the types of manuscripts ER accepts, including feature articles, reviews/essays, briefs, and policy forum pieces.
Educational Researcher (ER) publishes scholarly articles that are of general significance to the education research community and that come from a wide range of areas of education research and related disciplines. The journal aims to make major programmatic research and new findings of broad importance widely accessible.
