Dear Fellows:

I am also glad to inform that:
The Nurturing of Educational Researchers special interest group (Lorin Anderson, María de Ibarrola, Denis Phillips, Gavriel Salomon and Ulrich Teichler), is planning to meet in Guanajuato, México next June 12- 16. We are expecting a positive answer to the application submitted at the beginning of February for the necessary funding.

  • The meeting is aimed to finish the two books this SIG has been working on: Dialogues and Debates on the training on educational researchers, and The making of an educational researcher. International and Interdisciplinary Experiences. For this second book (a biography book) other IAE fellows have confirmed their interest in writing about their own experience: Adrienne Alton-Lee, Andreas Demetrious, Stella Vosniadou, Servaas van der Berg and Will Schubert.

The IAE executive committee nominated Dr. Lauren Resnick to the Jacobs Research Prize. Three fellows answered initially our invitation to be nominated and finally only Dr. Resnick completed all the necessary documentation.

Finally, by this means I am inviting all fellows to send proposals for the scientific program and the business matters you would like to develop and analyze during the General Assembly next September.

Best wishes to you all,
María de Ibarrola
President, International Academy of Education
