Graduate Student Discount for TC’s Reimagining Education Summer Institute (RESI) 2023

Dear AERA Graduate Student Members:

This summer, you can join a community of education researchers and practitioners who care deeply about antiracist, culturally responsive education strategies at a discounted, graduate student rate.

Come to NYC or log in virtually this July 10-13 for the 8th annual Reimagining Education: Teaching, Learning and Leading for a Racially Just Society Summer Institute (RESI) at Teachers College, Columbia University.

As the longest-running and largest professional development institute designed to help educators prepare children for a multiracial democracy, RESI offers participants a star-studded cast of Plenary speakers, including Dr. Gholdy Muhammad, Dr. Bettina Love, Dr. Chris Emdin, Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz and many more scholars and experts.

In addition, we offer Community Dialogue Sessions to guide you on a journey toward deeper understanding of your own racial literacy while connecting with educators from across the country and the world. We also provide hands-on Workshops to facilitate growth focused on antiracist practices.

On Friday, July 14, stay with us for a Teach-In and a call to action Policy Dialogue on Race, Education and Democracy.

Flexible Hybrid Scheduling allows you to register for Full Participation, Day Passes or Plenary Only Passes.

Researching issues of race and education has never been more timely or more important, and opportunities to be in solidarity with caring professionals in our field are rare.

See you at RESI 2023!

Social Media Manager Sign Off

I just wanted to send a quick conclusion note; as some of you may know, at the end of the AERA in-person meeting, many members of the Graduate Student Council changeover due to graduation or reaching the end of their term on the GSC. Included in this changeover is me (Luke Parker -the Social Media person) from the last 12 months.

It has been an absolute privilege to serve as the social media manager for the Graduate Student Council. Over the past year, I have had the honor of running our social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and the AERA graduate webpage. Through the outreach efforts, we have reached more than half a million people across our channels and have connected graduate students to events and each other across the globe.

I am incredibly proud of the work we have accomplished together, either as a contributor or a reader. Through our social media platforms, I hope we have provided a space for lively discussions, shared important research findings, and highlighted the amazing work being done by you, our graduate students, and the graduate student council.

As my time in this role ends, I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who has supported our social media channels and reach along the way. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such a talented and dedicated team in the GSC and the wider graduate community. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this community, and I look forward to continuing to support the work of AERA in whatever way I can.

Sincerely,

Luke Parker
