ICHER Affiliate Scholars are accomplished, active researchers who have published academic scholarship focused on home education. They serve as resources for the ICHER community: writing reviews, providing information about policies and regulations throughout the world, mentoring new scholars, and participating in ongoing discussion about home education research.
If you are an aspiring researcher—perhaps working on a dissertation, or even just trying to conceptualize a smaller-scale project—feel free to contact an ICHER scholar whose interests (italicized under their name) coincide with yours.
