About AERC

The Adult Education Research Conference (AERC) is an annual North American conference that provides a forum for adult education researchers to share their experiences and the results of their studies with students, other researchers, and practitioners from around the world.

In a sense, the AERC is also a retreat for members of the adult education community; an informal, collegial gathering where all are encouraged to enter into lively debate over the future direction of research in adult education.

Purpose

The purpose of the AERC is to:

• to promote the improvement of research and evaluation in adult education

• to foster professional collaboration among persons who promote research, conduct research or utilize research findings in the field of adult education
