at the Ucea conference
Come to a session put on by graduate students from AERA Divisions A & L:
Moving Beyond Publish or Perish: Professors and Graduate Students Publishing with Passion, Saturday Nov. 18, 7:00-7:45am.
Graduate students are often given the sage advice to publish in top tier journals and to have multiple publications under their belt by the time they graduate. Although, this is sage advice, it is no secret that many struggle to achieve this goal, while at the same time, publishing in a manner they feel is reaching educators and policy makers in an accessible, authentic medium. This panel of professors and graduate students speak candidly about how they grapple with this dilemma to continually work toward publications that are reflective of their passion for research and educational improvement. Graduate students will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the session and become aware of more diverse outlets for publication opportunities.
Facilitator:
Amanda Jo Cordova, University of Texas at San Antonio
Participants:
Juan Manuel Niño, University of Texas at San Antonio
Julian Vasquez Heilig, California State University Sacramento
Dessynie Edwards, Texas A&M University
Gretchen Givens Generett, Duquesne University
Bryan J Duarte, University of Texas at San Antonio
Liliana Estella Castrellon, University of Utah
