The Districts in Research and Reform SIG will be honoring a recent doctoral candidate whose dissertation reflects the SIG goals of promoting research that features central office administrators/school board members as main actors in reform or that considers educational reforms and practices that are districtwide in nature. In keeping with this year's conference theme, "Education and Poverty," we particularly encourage dissertations that consider issues of educational inequality.
The award —to be presented at our 2013 AERA Business Meeting in San Francisco— will be given for an outstanding dissertation defended in the past two years (July 2010-August 2012). The individual submitting the nomination will need to forward an electronic copy of his/her dissertation (or three hard copies, if electronic version is unavailable) to the Awards Committee along with the nomination form (attached). Nominators or nominees do not need to be SIG members, but we encourage all to join. We also accept self-nominations.
SIG Executive Board member Tina Trujillo is serving as this year's Awards Chair. Please direct all questions, nominations, and materials to:
