Dear Colleagues and Graduate Students,
The American Educational Research Association (AERA), the largest educational research association in the World,
has created a special offer for Doctoral Students. AERA has reduced membership dues of Doctoral Graduate Students to
$25, with free membership in an AERA Division and additional Division membership for just $5 each!
One may also join Special Interest Groups (SIG’s) with fees waived. One complementary subscription to the
AERA journal, the Educational Researcher, is available and one additional journal of choice.
There is a Graduate Student Newsletter, Connections, published three times per year, at no cost to graduate students.
There is a discount available for the Annual Conference,
April 8th to 12th, 2021 to be held by Zoom.
There are 25,000 AERA members and Doctoral Students represent 25% of the total membership of AERA.
UTSA has agreed to participate in the AERA Doctoral Student Cohort Program
allowing for the above reductions. Contact Christopher Kibbe in the Dean’s Office for additional information, 210-458-2370.
I also encourage you to go to the AERA Website, to also learn more, become a member, and register for the Conference. Please contact
members@aera.net or call 202-238-3200.
Why join? AERA has about 160 Special Interest Groups, in educational research, in Literacy, Special Education, TESOL, Bilingual Education, Educational Psychology, Counseling, Human Development, Civic Education, Arts Education, Science Education,
Social Studies Education, Mathematics Education, Higher Education and Administration, Cross-cultural and international fields of inquiry/study, research methods, and more. This organization is one way of staying up-to-date on research funding, job opportunities,
and research outcomes. As a 45-year member, I have found AERA to be extremely valuable for career development in my lifetime and
among students.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, if I can be of further assistance.
All best wishes for the Spring Semester and Creative Research!
