TITLE: Women in Educational Research: Affirmative Action
Plans.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1975
NOTE: 8 p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the
American Educational Research Association (Washington, D.
C.., March 30-April 3, 1975)
ABSTRACT: In order to provide women educational researchers
with equal opportunities, the author proposes that women's
affirmative action plans with respect to educational
research be instituted, and that the American Educational
Research Association (AERA) play a central role in their
institution. What is necessary in a women's affirmative
action plan for AERA is a statement of commitment to equal
opportunity for women to participate in the association,
and
this commitment must be detailed through policies covering
the main categories of associational activities. To
accomplish a complete women's affirmative action plan, a
full-time women's affirmative action officer should be
appointed. AERA thus has a role to play in instituting
women's affirmative action plans for the educational
research training and/or research organization to which its
members belong. (Author/PC)
