students are invited to submit an abstract for a 10-15-minute presentation. The
abstract and the presentation should include one or two questions on which the
student would like to receive audience feedback (e.g. data collection,
analysis, theoretical or methodological issues), and sufficient background
information for framing the questions. These sessions are not intended as
opportunities to present research results, but to discuss future directions. Students
whose abstracts are accepted will then be required to send their paper to a
discussant (a senior researcher). The discussant will lead a 10-15-minute
feedback/discussion session on their work. </span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:rgb(73,73,73)" lang="EN"></span></p>
