SPECIAL NOTES FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS

PANEL STRUCTURE

Each panel will be 90 minutes long. The presenter summarizes the papers, and offers a synthesis and critique for 25-30 minutes. The paper authors then have 5-10 minutes each to respond and clarify their thoughts. Presenters are asked to point out common themes and issues (or differences), and raise critical points and questions to stimulate discussion. The remainder of the session is devoted to discussion, and questions and answers.
