Presentation in the event
- The workshop organizers will group a small number of papers that are similar in topic and/or methodology in parallel sessions.
- One or more senior scholar familiar with the topic or method in question will chair the session.
- Each presenter will have 20 min to make a brief presentation of his/her research. Then a discussion of 10 minutes will occur. We strongly recommend that presentations be structured around four questions:
- What is the research question?
- Why is this question important?
- How did you develop your answer?
- Based on your results, what conclusions can you draw?
