NEERO received more than 120 roundtable, paper, poster, and symposium submissions for the NEERO 2023 Conference; this was an increase compared to last year. Submissions were received from 11 states and 2 countries. Submissions were authored by education researchers, faculty, K12 practitioners, graduate students, and undergraduate students. We continue to see a trend toward an even split between papers and research-in-progress roundtables. We received a significant increase in the number of proposals in the Diversity & Sociocultural Studies strand, which is a welcome sign given this year's conference theme, Practicing Impactful Education Research Toward Truth, Equity, and Accountability. 

And, a huge thank you to the many of you who have volunteered your time to review the NEERO 2023 submissions!

Decisions will be shared with contact authors on January 6, 2023. Conference Registration will open at this time as well. 

If you have questions about NEERO submissions or the review process, please contact NEERO Vice President and Conference Chair, Jessica York, at neero.conference@gmail.com

Are you interested in becoming more involved with NEERO?

• Consider serving on the NEERO Board. Board members graciously volunteer their time and expertise to design and oversee the annual conference. Board members are expected to attend approx. six meetings per year, register for and attend the annual conference, and complete role-specific duties (such as organizing conference sessions, engaging current members and building the membership across New England).
• Consider joining or presenting via the NEERO Circles Committee. This Committee organizes several virtual events over the year with opportunities for members to present their work, discuss problems of practice and research, offer ideas and tips on publishing, and other special topics of interest to NEERO members.
• Consider joining a NEERO Committee. NEERO is continually interested in building our social, graduate student, and communications committees. Let us know if you can give some time to engage and expand our NEERO community in these ways!
