DESCRIPTION:The American Educational Research Association (AERA)\, a nation
 al research society\, strives to advance knowledge about education\, to en
 courage scholarly inquiry related to education\, and to promote the use of
  research to improve education and serve the public good.\n\nThe 2018 prog
 ram theme calls us to confront the struggles for public education\, consid
 ering the times in which we are living\, the historical arcs that shape ou
 r present(s)\, and the roles we can play in the fight for justice. Public 
 education has the potential to be a central pillar of democracy and to fos
 ter civil deliberation. It is essential to democratic government\, which b
 oth depends on and makes possible respect for diversity\, justice\, and hu
 man dignity. It has a crucial role to play in our divided world\, bringing
  communities together to build an inclusive formation of “we the people.”
 \n\nAlthough public education’s possibilities inspire us\, they are elusiv
 e. As researchers and practitioners\, we have a special responsibility to 
 make possible what often seems impossible about the dreams for public educ
 ation. We must build knowledge to support the quest for equitable educatio
 nal opportunity. We must (re)imagine and contribute to developing what pub
 lic education can and must be for today’s children\, their families\, and 
 communities\, and for the billions who will be inheritors of this earth. O
 urs is a theme of criticism and debate\, but also of celebration and hope\
 , and above all\, of understanding and action.\n\nResearch assistants Chlo
 e Garcia\, Ayesha Vemuri\, Alastair Hayden\, Emil Briones\, and Christophe
 r Dietzel will be attending the 2018 AERA Conference. Chloe\, Ayesha\, Ala
 stair\, and Christopher will be presenting a session titled\, 'Countering 
 Rape Culture in the University Context: Policy Development\, Activism\, Ed
 ucation'. More information about the conference is available on the 2018 A
 ERA Conference webpage.\n
