Join us for the 55th annual meeting of the New England Educational Research Organization (NEERO) at the NEERO 2024 Conference!

NEERO 2024 Conference

Empowering the Pursuit of Educational Justice by Looking Back and Imagining Forward

Building on the American Educational Research Association 2024 Annual Meeting theme, the New England Educational Research Organization (NEERO) 2024 Annual Conference calls for research proposals that fit under the theme of “Empowering the Pursuit of Educational Justice by Looking Back and Imagining Forward.”

The mission of NEERO is to promote, improve, and disseminate information about all forms of educational research. In doing so, the NEERO 2024 Annual Conference theme aims to inspire collaboration and action across our membership as we realize the importance of the linkages between education, society, and democracy in the United States and across the globe. We support the concept that one’s education is a lifelong skill rather than a commodity one receives in youth. In the current moments, education researchers and practitioners find themselves inspired, overburdened, called to action, and searching for their voices. Through research, collaboration, and action we must take on pressing and endemic matters of life itself, including institutionalized and systemic racism, climate change, physical and mental health access, and social and economic disparities.

As researchers and practitioners, activists and policy makers, students and teachers, NEERO calls on each of us to rise up and leverage our expertise to share, collaborate, learn, and take action through educational research. This theme calls on this community to explore how educational justice has been successfully pursued, identify the barriers to this pursuit (past and present), and imagine how these pursuits will continue and change in the years ahead. NEERO is seeking proposals that define the beneficial outcomes of various educational approaches and/or environments, identify injustices within our educational system, within our research methodologies, within our research consumption/availability, and within our professional practices and pursuits, and critically examines and challenges systemic forces that have historically, and may currently or in the future, create injustice. While education will be the primary lens of the proposals, this theme would encourage submissions that draw on experiences within and beyond the formal educational environment of the classroom.

A vital aspect to NEERO is providing a forum for novice and expert researchers, students, professors, policy makers, teachers, consultants, and activists to come together to share research and engage in critical dialogue. We invite undergraduate students, graduate students, practitioners, institutional researchers, faculty, classroom teachers, policy makers, community organizers, and activists to submit proposals for the NEERO 2024 Annual Meeting. NEERO welcomes all submissions and particularly encourages submissions that are aligned with the theme that demonstrates the pursuit of educational justice.
