We are excited to announce that registration for the 2024 NERA conference is now open! This year’s conference will be held on October 8-10 at the Trumbull Marriott in Trumbull, CT.
This year’s conference theme is Promoting Social Responsibility in Educational Research. As educational researchers and practitioners, we are responsible for serving learners of all types, questioning the status quo, collaborating with diverse groups of learners, explicitly describing our methods, and openly and transparently communicating the results we find. We must continue to ask: Who is served by the field of educational research? Who is ignored? How can we collectively support positive change within educational research and, more broadly, across society? We look forward to exploring these consequential questions with you in October.
As in prior years, we have lined up an excellent schedule of workshops, panel discussions, and presentations. Of course, you can also expect ample opportunities to network and socialize with colleagues. Specific details about the conference program will be shared in September. Below, you will find important conference and hotel registration information.
