Doctoral Students of Color is excited to send a group of 12 DSoC members to Philadelphia in April to attend the American Educational Research Association national convening!
Our goal is to provide access to the signature educational research conference in our field to enhance the academic and professional achievement of doctoral students of color at the University of Colorado Denver’s School of Education and Human Development.
We are very grateful to our funders, CU Denver’s Student Government Association and Antonio Farias (Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), for this opportunity!

** We were able to secure a discounted introductory AERA graduate student membership fee of $25/calendar year. This discount would only be available if you are applying for AERA membership for the very first time.
If you have previously held AERA membership, unfortunately this discount would not apply to you. Please be sure to renew your AERA membership in the early spring so that DSoC is able to register you and cover your conference fees.
