Dear Colleagues,
The Division A Equity, Inclusion & Action (EIA) Committee welcomes you to join us at AERA for two committee-developed sessions featuring prominent invited scholars from Division A. Invited education leadership scholars will interrogate the criticality of engaging in social justice work, address the complex and complicated matters that surround doing this type of work in research, teaching, and practice, and discuss ways to move forward through critical scholarship, advocacy, and activism.
The EIA Committee also invites you to the Division A Business meeting. We will share our findings from the equity audit of this year’s program and announce new members joining the committee for the next two-year term (2023-25). The business meeting is on Friday, April 14, 6:00 to 7:30pm CDT (7:00 to 8:30pm EDT), Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, Floor: Level 4, Sheraton Ballroom I.

Our 3rd Literature in Action (LIA) professional learning series was a great success. We extend much appreciation to Dr. Decoteau Irby for this learning opportunity that featured his book, Stuck Improving: Racial Equity and School Leadership. Dr. Irby’s book focuses on developing and enacting leadership praxis for critical racial justice-oriented work and introduces the concept of organizational capacity for racial equity improvement. It addresses the complexity of racial equity reform--its shifting dynamics, progress, and challenges, and argues that lasting transformation relies most urgently on the cultivation of organizational conditions that render structural racism impossible to preserve. The EIA committee is also very thankful to Division A’s VP Dr. Mariela Rodriguez for providing free copies of the book to members and for her dedicated support of this committee’s work. Thank you!
