On Thursday, April 7 (the evening before the opening day of the 2011 AERA meeting) and Friday, April 8 (the opening morning of the AERA meeting), a group of historians of education will hold a mentoring seminar for graduate students and junior faculty members.

On Thursday evening, a panel discussion on academic publishing will feature editors of prominent venues for our field:

On Friday morning participants will engage in roundtable discussions that will address topics such as job searches, tenure, teaching, research, and personal well-being.
