How are the panels organized?

Paper-givers will have 12-15 minutes to give an overview of their paper, highlighting their findings, methods, and purpose and significance of the study. Discussants will have 10-12 minutes to comment on the contributions of papers and to identify connecting themes. Chairs will open and close the session, keep participants to time, and facilitate discussion with the audience. Papers are due by December 10 and will be circulated to panel members at that time. Q&A session is largely audience driven; the chairs are to ensure all questions are asked before the panelists get the chance to respond: this would allow further linking the themes and questions for the benefit of all panel participants.
