2026 AERA Graduate Student Research-in-Progress Roundtable Series
Call for Submissions
Submissions Due October 8, 2025, 11:59 pm PST
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) invites submissions for the Research-in-Progress Roundtable Series at the 2026 AERA Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, April 8-12. This initiative provides a formal presentation opportunity for graduate students who are engaged in research that is underway but was not sufficiently far along to submit a paper in response to the AERA Annual Meeting Call for Submissions. AERA will hold up to 6 Research-in-Progress Roundtable Sessions in Los Angeles. These roundtable sessions will be highlighted as part of the AERA-wide programming at the Annual Meeting.
The opportunity to present in a Research-in-Progress Roundtable is open to Graduate Student members of AERA who did not submit a paper as an author or co-author for the 2026 Annual Meeting Open Call. The aim for this series is to offer a forum at the Annual Meeting where graduate students can present a work-in-progress paper. Each roundtable will include 3-5 graduate student presenters and will be chaired and facilitated by an accomplished education researcher with relevant expertise. Consistent with the roundtable format, the Research-in-Progress Roundtables are intended to maximize interaction and discussion of each research project.
