If you’re a graduate student trying to navigate the exciting world of physical education research, I have some fantastic news for you. The American Educational Research Association SIG93 (a Special Interest Group for Research on Learning and Instruction in Physical Education) is launching a graduate student network.

You can sign up for the mailing list here: https://yongjin-l.github.io/AERA93-GradNetwork/

They will be hosting monthly online meetups. These will be casual meetings held right after the main SIG93 webinars, making it easy to hop on. It’s a perfect chance to get to know your peers from other universities and build a real support system.

Second, this network is a chance for you to shape the future of our SIG. Your ideas and discussions will directly influence the practical programming we develop for graduate students. We’re already thinking about creating a dedicated graduate student session within a future webinar or developing the “Invisible College” session, which is a pre-conference workshop at the national AERA conference. Your voice can help make these things happen!
