PEA Needs YOU!
Membership Benefits
In addition to its presence on the AERA program, PEA membership provides members with an electronic PEA Bulletin (the Association's newsletter), recent publications, and information about upcoming conferences, books, articles, and events related to politics of education. Members also receive the special double issue of Educational Policy (January/March) which serves as the annual yearbook of the Politics of Education Association and a bi-annual special issue of the Peabody Journal of Education. The association also sponsors its own web site http://www.fsu.edu/~pea/, course materials for teaching courses related to the Politics of Education, POETS (Politics of Education Teachers Services), timely presentations from senior scholars and insiders, and mentoring opportunities for new faculty and graduate students.
In Fall 2008, we will roll out a membership recruitment campaign that targets graduate students.
