Three doctoral students, Chih–Wei, Patrice, and Sarah, at varying levels in the doctoral programs, share reflections and experiences from the 2019 Adult Education Research Conference (AERC) in Buffalo, NY. These experiences are both individual and collective. While our individual experiences vary, we value AERC as a community of practice for knowledge sharing and support and find that the conference's intimate environment encourages interactions among all participants.
