Demystifying the Publishing Process: BRE PowerPoint (presented at AERA 2012)
BRE Interviews Nicholas Hartlep, AERA Graduate Student Council Chair
Current Graduate Student Council Chair of the American Educational Research Association Nicholas D. Hartlep shares his thoughts on supporting graduate students, education research, and the future of academic publishing.
As a student-edited, online, peer-reviewed academic journal, the Berkeley Review of Education (BRE) is part of a new wave of open-access journals that is shaping the debates around the future of academic publishing. As Chair of the Graduate Student Council, Nicholas Hartlep invited the BRE to host a panel at AERA 2012 on writing and editing for publication. As Nicholas finishes his graduate work at the Urban Education Doctoral Program at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, preparing to take on a tenure-track assistant professorship at Illinois State University, we asked him to share his thoughts on graduate student professional development, the BRE, and academic publishing more broadly.

Sponsored AERA Session in Vancouver: Monday 4/16/12
Conversation with Kevin Kumashiro at Berkeley March 7, 2012
Education-Psychology Library, 2nd Floor of Tolman Hall, 4:00PM-5:30PM
Kevin Kumashiro talks about his new book, Bad Teacher! How Blaming Teachers Distorts the Bigger Picture, out from Teachers College Press. Join us for the talk, to be followed by a Q&A session and refreshments.
Brief summary of the book: In his latest book, leading educator and author Kevin Kumashiro takes aim at the current debate on educational reform, paying particular attention to the ways that scapegoating public school teachers, teacher unions, and teacher educators masks the real, systemic problems. He convincingly demonstrates how current trends, like market-based reforms and fast-track teacher certification programs are creating overwhelming obstacles to achieving an equitable education for all children.
Bad Teacher! highlights the common ways that both the public and influential leaders think about the problems and solutions for public education, and suggests ways to help us see the bigger picture and reframe the debate. Compelling, accessible, and grounded in current initiatives and debates, this book is important reading for a diverse audience of policymakers, school leaders, parents, and everyone who cares about education.
Kevin K. Kumashiro is director of the Center for Anti-Oppressive Education and president-elect (2010-2012) of the National Association for Multicultural Education. He is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the author of The Seduction of Common Sense: How the Right Has Framed the Debate on America's Schools.
