This year marks the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. In 2004, AERA inaugurated the Annual Brown Lecture in Education Research to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court taking sustained and significant research into account in its ruling. Each year, AERA elevates a scholar notable for undertaking such work. For 20 years, distinguished scholars have delivered the Brown Lecture, examining educational equality and equity and the complicated legacy of Brown.
The following resources provide insight and reflection from some of the most accomplished scholars across the field of education research. We encourage you to explore and widely share these resources.
