AERA
HEADS TO THE WINDY CITY
The 2015 Annual Meeting of AERA will be held in Chicago,
Illinois beginning on Thursday, April 16 and ending on Monday, April 20, 2015.
In addition to the research presentations and networking opportunities, “The
Windy City” has numerous attractions, including the Navy Pier, the Field
Museum, the Sears Tower, and The Magnificent Mile down Michigan Avenue. The
theme for this year’s meeting is “Towards Justice: Culture, Language, and
Heritage in Education Research and Praxis”. According to Joyce E. King, AERA
President, and Beverly M. Gordon, Annual Meeting Program Chair, the theme
should focus our attention on local and global justice. The pro-gram will
examine whether or not justice is an interest in cur-rent educational research
and policy-making. If you submitted a proposal, you will be notified of
acceptance or rejection on November 3, 2014.
CSU HOST
IES GRANT WRITING SEMINAR
Columbus
State University in Columbus, Georgia, will host an Institute of Education
Sciences (IES) Grant Writing Seminar on Friday, October 17, 2014. At the
session, the participants will sit in groups and interact with fellow
colleagues in order to get peer input during the session. The groups will be
able to submit various examples to Dr. Meredith Larson, Education Research
Analyst with IES, who will lead the seminar. This interactive format will allow
for immediate feedback from Dr. Larson. Her presentation will focus on writing
an IES research grant proposal, including the abstract, common pitfalls, and
the major sections of the proposal. After the interactive presentation, lunch
will be provided. Following lunch, there will be break-out sessions with IES
Grantees from the University of Georgia, Georgia State University, and Florida
State University. At these sessions, the IES Grantees will discuss their funded
projects, your IES grant proposals, and offer possible suggestions for future
submissions. Handouts will be provided. All faculty, staff, and graduate
students are encouraged to attend. For more information, contact Jennifer Brown
(brown_jennifer2@columbusstate.edu) or check out the information website,
te.columbusstate.edu/grantwriting. The deadline to register is Friday, October

Eastern
Educational Research Association (EERA) is
accepting proposals for the 2015 Annual Meeting, which will be held in
Sarasota, Florida on February 26—27. The EERA conference has been held each
spring for nearly 40 years and brings together the leading scholars from the
eastern and mid-western United States. The refereed conference typically hosts
over 300 scholars, meaning that the conference is small enough to network and connect
with colleagues, but it is large enough to offer a wide range of ideas, research
methods, and topics. In addition to research papers, roundtable discussions,
symposia, posters, and panels, there will be two keynote addresses featuring
Stephen Miles, Provost of the New College of Florida, and Marueen Thomas,
Curator of Education at the Ringling Museum. Proposals can be submitted online
at www.eeraonline.org/conference. The deadline for submission is Wednesday,
November 12, 2014.
