About: Identification and selection of authors
                for the third edition of Complementary Methods

As you may know, Complementary Methods for Research in Education (2nd
 edition) AERA’s principle text for research methods is being updated (this
 will be the third edition). We are pleased and excited that the work is
 progressing, and that we will shortly begin the search for suitable chapter
 authors. As leaders in AERA, we ask you to provide nominations for the
 authors of chapters. Following a brief history of the project, we give the
 volume outline and provide contact information.

Over the past two years, a broad range of AERA members have contributed to
 the development and direction of this edition. The process began with Lorrie
 Shepard’s (then AERA President) suggestion during the first AERA Coordinated
 Committee Meetings in 2000 that the Professional Development and Training
 Committee consider developing a new edition of Complementary Methods. Andy
 Porter supported the developmental work of the PD&T by presenting the
 project to the AERA Council in 2001. At the October 2001 coordinated
 meetings, PD&T members (Gregory Camilli, Patricia Elmore, Michael Garet,
 Judith Green, and Iris Weiss) met with a range of committees to obtain
 guidance on the new edition, and the editorial team of Camilli, Elmore and
 Green was composed. During this meeting, Andy Porter formalized the Advisory
 Panel, consisting of members from the Publications Committee (2), Research
 Advisory Committee (1), Professional Development & Training Committee (2)
 and Scholars of Color Committee (1). At the 2002 AERA annual meeting, the
 new Executive Director of AERA, Felice Levine, was briefed by the PD&T
 Committee on the Complementary Methods project, and a development and
 production timeline was established along with procedures for working with
 AERA staff.

We would appreciate nominations from you for authors and chapter reviewers in
 any of the categories given below (there will be 1-2 chapters per category).
 We are asking all nominators to provide a letter describing the
 qualifications of the nominee. Please keep in mind that chapter authors, in
 addition to being expert in the category, will need to compose a concise and
 highly readable treatment in 5,000-6,000 words. The target audience is that
 of first and second year graduate students.

Please include the topic for which you are nominating the person as well as
 the mailing and current email addresses, and FAX and phone numbers. Send
 nominations via email to camilli@rci.rutgers.edu (Phone: 732 932 7496 ext.
 8350; FAX 732 932 6829) with cc to pbelmore@sui.edu and
 green who-is-at education.ucsb.edu. Once we have received the letters of nomination,
 we will compile the list of nominees for authors and chapter reviewers and
 provide this list to the Advisory Panel which will then review
 recommendations and make final selections.

Finally, we apologize for the cross-postings and realize that email addresses
 for some individuals may be out-of-date or possibly incorrect. For the
 latter, we hope that word of mouth will be a sufficient means of
 communication.
