70.013 - Black Education: 10 Years Later - Co-sponsored by the World Education Research Association

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Ten years ago, the American Educational Research Association published a landmark manuscript edited by Joyce Elaine King and entitled Black Education: A Transformative Research and Action Agenda for the New Century (2005). The book was a major product of the AERA’s Commission on Research in Black Education (CORIBE). Circumstances beg the question: How have we progressed since the publication of this important work? This is particularly relevant because the publication was designed in part to stimulate networking focused on the creation of useful research and policymaking. This also raises the question: Where do we go from here? This session is designed to provide a summary of this all-important work and to begin the discussion of next steps, including a companion piece reflecting on these issues more than a decade later.
