As part of Black History Month 2024, BERA is releasing a series of three videos, recorded at the 2024 BERA Annual Conference and WERA Focal Meeting, featuring the voices and insights of Black BERA members. These videos address critical issues related to Black colleagues in educational research and represent an important step in our ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within the field.
The question asked in this video is:
What progress has been made to celebrate and support Black colleagues’ excellence in Educational Research?
Listen as our colleagues explore the strides taken and the work that still needs to be done to create a more inclusive and equitable academic landscape.
