The Affirmative Action Committee has been renamed the Equity, Inclusion & Action Committee.
The committee's new chair, Ann Ishimaru, of the University of Washington, announced the name change:
In anticipation of a change to the broader AERA Affirmative Action Committee name, our committee proposed “Equity, Inclusion & Action Committee” for Division A to better reflect our charge and bring the language up to date. We added the word “action” to indicate our commitment to moving beyond talking about equity and inclusion to enacting change within Division A, AERA, and in our own scholarship and work. With the blessing of the Division A Executive Committee and Vice President Michael Dantley, we are excited to announce this change to our name!
Read an interview with Dr. Ishimaru here. She is joined by Melissa Martinez of Texas State University, who will serve as Co-Chair during 2016-2017 and then serve as Chair in 2017-2018.
Committee members include Dana Thompson Dorsey of UNC Chapel Hill, Rhoda Freelon of the Spencer Foundation, Bernard Oliver of the University of Florida, and Rosa Rivera-McCutchen of Lehman College.
The committee is on the lookout for new members, so if you are interested in getting involved, please contact Dr. Ishimaru ([email protected]) or Dr. Martinez ([email protected]).
