I am excited to announce that Professor Sean Darling-Hammond of UC Berkeley and I have received the Palmer O. Johnson Memorial Award from the American Educational Research Association (AERA) for our article “No matter how you slice it, Black students are punished more: The persistence and pervasiveness of discipline disparities” which was published in AERA Open. We were honored at the AERA Annual Meeting Awards Luncheon on April 9, 2026. You can read about the other awards recipients in this press release.
