Conference Agenda
9:00-9:30 am Registration and Breakfast
9:30 am Opening Remarks
9:45 am to 10:55 am Works-in-Progress Workshops (concurrent in breakout rooms)
Goals for workshops: 1) substantive subject matter-oriented discussions; 2) a space for scholars to receive feedback on their works in progress; and 3) an opportunity for conference participants to identify key topic areas and authors of scholarship in the field.
Authors will briefly provide an overview of their papers (in about 5 minutes or less), and moderators will facilitate discussions among the group attendees. All attendees should read draft works in progress and feedback requests in advance of the sessions.
