Call for proposals: 2025 Eastern Educational Research Association Annual Conference

  • Proposal deadline: Friday, Nov. 1 at 11:59 p.m.

Proposals are now being accepted for the 48th Annual Conference of the Eastern Educational Research Association (EERA), to be held in Hilton Head, South Carolina, from Feb. 20-21, 2025. The EERA conference is held each spring and brings together leading scholars from the eastern United States. The refereed conference typically hosts over 300 scholars, so the conference is small enough to network and connect with colleagues, but large enough to offer a wide range of ideas, research methods, and topics.

Researchers may submit for consideration original proposals that have not been published or presented at another professional meeting. Proposals will be submitted through the online submission portal on the EERA website, and if the proposal is accepted, the lead author must pay all conference fees and be present at the conference. Original proposed research presentations are to be based on completed work or work to be completed before the annual conference. The proposal submission abstract must be less than 1,500 words though, if available, you may also attach your completed paper separately. Submissions should provide sufficient detail for reviewers to judge the quality of the proposal. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method studies are encouraged.

The program will consist of papers and other formats for educational research presentations that have been accepted by the review committee. Session types include paper presentations, panel discussions, poster presentations, roundtable presentations, and birds of a feather sessions. All submissions will be reviewed by at least two scholars or practitioners in the field of education.

For more details and/or to submit a proposal, please visit the EERA website. If you have questions about submitting a proposal or would like to talk to someone about the conference, please contact conference chair William (Willy) Williams at 540-818-6698 or williamsw@concord.edu.
