Thousands of academics from around the world gathered in Vancouver for a five-day conference that will feature the latest education discoveries on topics ranging from online learning and charter schools to bullying, racism and student activism. The annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), which is the largest gathering of education researchers in the world, opened with a plenary by Linda Smith of the University of Waikato in New Zealand. Her presentation speaks to the theme of the conference and the association’s two-fold mission, which is to encourage scholarly inquiry and promote the use of that research to improve education.
