Former BERA President, Geoff Whitty has been awarded the prestigious AERA Fellowship. AERA Fellows are selected on the basis of their notable and sustained research achievements. Fellows are nominated by their peers, selected by the AERA Fellows Committee, and approved by the AERA Council. Geoff will be inducted on Friday, April 17, during the AERA 2015 Annual Meeting in Chicago and is one of a small number of non-US recipients of the Fellowship.

Joining Geoff in this year’s honour is Cynthia Coburn who will be a keynote at the BERA Conference in September.
