Santa Monica, CA; May 1-2,
2004
Every
session is organized in the following way.�
One co-author will take 10 minutes to provide an overview of the chapter
topic and the alternative theoretical perspectives from which it could be
understood.� If present, the other
co-author will take 5 minutes to make additional observations, possibly from a
different point of view.�
We
have selected one person to give an initial 5-minute commentary on these
presentations.� The commentator is not
expected to have special knowledge about the topic, but instead has the job of
making some initial observations � from a potential reader�s point of view �
about how the co-authors have tackled their subject.��
The
commentator will then be responsible for guiding the discussion.� On average, we should have about 20 minutes
for open discussion.� Hopefully as the
conference moves forward we will find some common themes and increasingly make
comparisons and contrasts across chapters.
