President's Welcome Message

Welcome to the website for the Politics of Education Association. First, a brief history lesson… 
The Politics of Education Association (PEA) was formed in 1969 as the Politics of Education 
Society. In 1978, it became the Politics of Education Association, as part of the American 
Educational Research Association (AERA). Interest in educational policy and politics expanded 
so that in 1987, the Association successfully called for the formation of a new division within the  American Educational Research Association. Today, that division is known as Division L: Policy 
and Politics. The Politics of Education Association continues as a Special Interest Group 
affiliated with AERA. 

We hope that you find this website to be a useful one that facilitates connections to politics of education research and researchers.
