The American Educational Research Association invites you to the Twelfth Annual Brown Lecture in Education Research“So That Any Child May Succeed  Indigenous Pathways toward Justice and the Promise of Brown—on Thursday, October 22, at 6 p.m. at the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center in Washington, D.C.

This year’s speaker is Teresa L. McCarty, a professor of education and anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, professor emerita at Arizona State University, and world-renowned scholar on Indigenous language planning, policy, education, and revitalization. McCarty’s impressive body of scholarship focuses on language education policy, indigenous/language minority education, youth language ideologies and practices, critical literacy studies, and ethnographic studies of education.
 
McCarty's lecture will examine hard-fought pathways toward educational justice forged by Indigenous educators, parents, leaders, and allies; the larger colonial project in which those efforts are embedded; and the ways in which Indigenous initiatives are braided with those of others. She will conclude with ongoing challenges in fulfilling the promise of Brownin particular, the simultaneous homogenizing and stratifying effects of current education policy—and what can be learned from diverse models of contemporary Indigenous education practice.

About the Brown Lecture
The Annual Brown Lecture in Education Research illuminates the important role of research in advancing understanding of equality and equity in education. Now in its 12th year, the Brown Lecture was inaugurated by AERA in 2004 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, in which the U.S. Supreme Court took scientific research into account in issuing its landmark ruling. Each year a distinguished scholar notable for producing significant research related to equality in education is invited to give this public lecture in Washington, D.C.
