Conference Theme:

Strengthening Educational Research

At a time when many question the relevance and rigor of educational research, identifying the challenges and barriers to conducting high quality research is more pressing than ever. With an eye toward impacting policy and practice, how can we strengthen educational research?

We invite your proposals for papers and posters reflecting a variety of topics in and approaches to the study of education. Papers and posters need not be about the conference theme. The Call for Proposals and instructions for submitting proposals for papers and posters is available. Download forms here.
