EdPsychers, great opportunity to present your research-in-progress at the grande venue and for the national/ international audience - 2027 AERA Graduate Student Research-in-Progress Roundtable Series. You don't want to miss this opportunity for sharing your scholarly projects, gain feedback, and well-deserved recognition 😀 All I can say - go for it!!!

Call for Submissions

Submissions Due October 15, 2026, 11:59 pm PST.

The American Educational Research Association (AERA) invites submissions for the Research-in-Progress Roundtable Series at the 2027 AERA Annual Meeting in Toronto, April 14-18. This initiative provides a formal presentation opportunity for graduate students who are engaged in research that is underway but was not sufficiently far along to submit a paper in response to the AERA Annual Meeting Call for Submissions. AERA will hold up to 6 Research-in-Progress Roundtable Sessions in Toronto. These roundtable sessions will be highlighted as part of the AERA-wide programming at the Annual Meeting.

The opportunity to present in a Research-in-Progress Roundtable is open to Graduate Student members of AERA who did not submit a paper as an author or co-author for the 2027 Annual Meeting Open Call. The aim for this series is to offer a forum at the Annual Meeting where graduate students can present a work-in-progress paper. Each roundtable will include 3-5 graduate student presenters and will be chaired and facilitated by an accomplished education researcher with relevant expertise. Consistent with the roundtable format, the Research-in-Progress Roundtables are intended to maximize interaction and discussion of each research project.

Wrapping up this spring semester was fun, and joy painted on most faces... especially as facing summer vacation ☀️ Thank you all Ed-Psychers for working so hard this semester & presenting such excellent work - doctoral and master's!
Also, thank you for nominating me for 2026 Lindquist Teaching Award as a 'truly transformational educator... [with] exceptional commitment ensuring that graduate students not only understand course material but can meaningfully apply it in real-world contexts. [Her] methods demand deep thinking, intentional practice, and intellectual rigor, and they pay off." I do hope all your commitment to your studies 'pays off' too :-)
Enjoy your summer time and come back with re-charged inner 'batteries'
