The Division A Equity, Inclusion & Action (EIA) committee has been actively working on bringing a series of initiatives to fruition this year. We are excited to invite you to join us at AERA and attend two special sessions that were collaboratively developed and organized by the committee. These sessions were intentionally designed to be spaces where guests and participants could collectively join to:
(1) learn from the work and wisdom of colleagues taking action to dismantle racial injustice in an era of significant legislative pushback on diversity, equity, and inclusion work and
(2) discuss, strategize, and mobilize for social justice work across different working environments. The details for the session are as follows.
Div A VP Session: Learning from Colleagues Taking Action to Dismantle Racial Injustice
Thu, April 11, 12:40 to 2:10pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 115A

We also invite all to attend the Division A Business meeting on Friday, April 12, 6:45-8:15pm (Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Level 4, Franklin 1). We will share our equity audit findings from this year’s conference program and announce our new EIA committee members (2024-2026).
Lastly, we are excited to share that we have augmented our Literature in Action series and are looking forward to this year’s offering: LIA4. We are actively collaborating with the Leadership for Social Justice (LSJ) SIG to bring this dialogic professional learning series to you in late spring/early summer.
