Deadline: November 1, 2017
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) is pleased to announce the AERA Minority Dissertation Fellowship in Education Research. The Council of the AERA established the fellowship program to provide support for doctoral dissertation research, to advance education research by outstanding minority graduate students, and to improve the quality and diversity of university faculties. This fellowship is targeted for members of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in higher education (e.g., African Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Asian Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders). This program offers doctoral fellowships to enhance the competitiveness of outstanding minority scholars for academic appointments at major research universities. It supports fellows conducting education research and provides mentoring and guidance toward the completion of their doctoral studies.
Award Period
Each fellowship award is for 1 year, beginning July 1, 2018 or later, and is nonrenewable. This fellowship program is intended as a write-up fellowship. Fellowships are awarded for doctoral dissertation research conducted under faculty sponsorship in any accredited university in the United States.
Eligibility
Eligible graduate students for the AERA Minority Dissertation Fellowship in Education Research will be at the writing stage of their dissertation by the beginning of the fellowship. The dissertation study should focus on an education research topic such as high stakes testing; ethnic studies/curriculum; tracking; STEM development; measurement of achievement and opportunity gaps; English language learners; or bullying and restorative justice. Applicants can come from graduate programs and departments in education research, the humanities, or social or behavioral science disciplinary or interdisciplinary fields, such as economics, political science, psychology, or sociology.
Fellows are required to provide proof of advancement to candidacy at the beginning of the award period. Applicants must work full-time on their dissertations and course requirements and should be in the writing stage of their dissertation. This program is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are members of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in higher education, specifically, African Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Asian Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders.

Subject: Black History Month February 2018: "I Am Not Your Negro"
I am writing to invite you to share the attached information with students, faculty, and staff for this first ever non-student organization offering of Black History Month at UTSA. The theme for 2018 will be “I Am Not Your Negro,” based on the recent film about James Baldwin. As the Brackenridge Endowed Chair in Literature and the Humanities, I am providing funding for films, panels, and speakers similar to what is provided for Women’s History Month. The mission for this Black History Month is to recognize and celebrate people of African descent’s contributions and causes by: providing space for educational events from a critical and culturally sustaining perspective; promoting a commitment to diversity, excellence, and collaboration; and aiming to achieve social justice and empowerment.
I invite you to the Black History Month Informational Meeting on Monday, September 18, 2017, 10:00 – 11:00 am, in MB 2.404, the English Department Conference Room. We will discuss the theme and answer any questions about submitting proposals, co-sponsoring an event, or funding.
Attached to this email are the film, panel, and speaker forms and the requirements for each one. Proposals for the 2018 Black History Month are due Monday, November 6, 2017. Please send completed electronic (preferred) proposals to Sonja.Lanehart(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Sonja.Lanehart@utsa.edu> or hard copies of your proposals to Sonja Lanehart, English Department, MB 2.314.
If you have any general questions about the meeting or the forms or if you’re interested in co-sponsoring this effort with me, please email me (Sonja.Lanehart(a)utsa.edu)<mailto:Sonja.Lanehart@utsa.edu)> or call me (210-458-6610). We look forward to seeing you Monday, September 18, 2017, at 10:00 am.

Subject: The Passing of a Legend - Dr. Ernesto M. Bernal
Dear COEHD,
We are saddened to learn that yesterday, September 1, 2017, Dr. Ernesto M. Bernal passed away at the age of 79 from Parkinson's Disease. Dr. Bernal was a former faculty member at UTSA, and husband of Dr. Carmen Tafolla (current BBL Professor of Transformative Children's Literature).
Dr. Bernal was key in developing the BBL Program, and authored the first scholarly research on the Latino gifted child in the US. A prolific scholar and innovator in the fields of Bilingual Education, Gifted Education, and Analysis of Test Bias, he went against the ethnocentric zeitgeist of the 1960s and 70s, which focused on "the culturally-deprived Latino child"; he spent a lifetime changing this deficit perception and published extensively on the gifted Latino child.
A former Dean of Education at UT Pan American (now UTRGV), Dr. Bernal, along with his wife, Dr. Tafolla, established a bilingual school for the gifted and creative child. Dr. Bernal's early years at UTSA were transformative for many students; Dr. Bernal was a contemporary of the now-famous Dr. Tomas Rivera, who also served on UTSA faculty and administration.
Please help me wish Carmen and her family peace and strength during this difficult time.
