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.
