Summary:

"Dan Robinson is Associate Dean of Research in the College of Education at the University of Texas at Arlington. He has been attending the AERA conference for thirty straight years before the recent pandemic. Dan has served as editor of Educational Psychology Review and associate editor of the Journal of Educational Psychology. He is a Fulbright scholar, has published over 100 articles, and received over a million dollars in external grants. This book is intended to be sort of a Chicken Soup for the educational academic's soul. But, in the spirit of the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), this book is more of a Bloody Mary for the AERA attendee's soul. As you likely know, one of the many suggested cures for a hangover is a Bloody Mary (it may not cure the hangover and could make it worse - but it seems like a good idea). The AERA conference experience for the uninformed amateur is similar to a hangover - symptoms may include confusion, nausea, headache, fatigue, etc., but without the alcohol. This book has two goals. One is to help you to get more out of the annual experience most of us refer to simply as "AERA," and less of the negative experiences. The second is to help the beginning academic to avoid the pitfalls the author has experienced and hopefully be more successful. To do this, chapters go back and forth between telling an academic story and providing academic advice"-- Provided by publisher.
