Academic Program of Panels and Sections
The panels and sections of the Congress will take place in two buildings on Emory’s main campus: White Hall (abbreviated as WH in the program) and the Math and Sciences Center (abbreviated as MS in the program). Panels have been organized by one or more conveners, who are listed in the program. The conveners are responsible for determining content and structure of the panel (e.g., whether questions will be entertained at the end of each paper or will be reserved for a discussion period at the end of the panel, and so on). Sections have been organized by the conference planning committee, who have grouped together papers that were submitted individually. In the sections, each presenter is entitled to determine how best to use his or her thirty minutes (i.e., whether to speak for the full thirty minutes or to leave time for questions at the end). All the panels and sections have a moderator, who is responsible for introducing the speakers, and ensuring that they keep to the published timetable. It is imperative that all presentations begin on the hour and the half-hour in accord with the published program so that conference participants may attend the papers they wish to hear.
