The AERA Committee on Scholars of Color in Education seeks nominations for three awards. These awards are intended to recognize (a) scholars who have made significant research contributions to the understanding of issues that disproportionately affect minority populations, and (b) scholars of color who have made significant contributions to education research and development.
 
Eligibility:
 

1. Scholars of Color Distinguished Career Contribution: Presented to a senior-level scholar, usually 20 years or more after their receipt of the doctoral degree.

 

2. Scholars of Color Mid-Career Contribution: Presented to a scholar who is beyond the first level of professional appointment and for whom at least 10 years have passed since receipt of the doctoral degree.

 

3. Scholars of Color Early Career Contribution: Presented to a scholar who is within the first ten (10) years of their career after receipt of the doctoral degree.

 
Nomination Materials and Criteria for Evaluation:
 
Letter of Nomination: letters of nomination must speak explicitly to the nominee’s “significant contributions to the understanding of issues that disproportionately affect minority populations” in the case of scholars, OR to the nominee’s “significant contribution(s) to education research and development” in the case of scholars of color. Letters must address what the contribution is and what makes it significant. Nominations for the Distinguished Career Contribution Award must also describe the impact of the nominee’s scholarly work on understanding of such issues or areas of education research beyond a single field, topic, or the nominee’s sphere of influence.
 
Letters of Support: A minimum of two (2) letters of support will be assessed according to the quality of the rationale and evidence presented regarding why the nominee is potentially an excellent candidate for the award. Letters of support must be well-written and precise, and be written on employer letterhead.
 
Curriculum Vitae (CV): The nominee’s vita should include the usual categories, including name, address, current and past employment, scholarly works, teaching and advising, and so forth. Federal government biographical sketches, webpages, and links are not permitted in lieu of a CV.
 
Representative Works: A minimum of two (2) representative referred journal articles or other scholarly works are required. Scholarly works may include PDF versions of journal articles, chapters, or representative chapters (e.g., introduction and conclusion) from a book authored by the nominee. Videos, installations, artifacts, and creative works are welcome in fields and specialties where these are the norm of the field.
 
Nomination materials must be submitted directly to the AERA nomination submission portal; materials should not be sent by mail or forwarded to individual members of the Committee on Scholars of Color in Education.
