Panels offer the opportunity for attendees to organize a series of presentations related to any of the conference themes. Organized sessions can be organized as coordinated paper presentations, roundtable discussions, panel discussions, workshops, or other formats to convey your research. Speakers are scheduled according to the organizer\u2019s preferences. Organized Sessions are scheduled to run concurrently with other conference sessions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chairs of all types of sessions will be responsible for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Being the primary point of contact with the Pathways Conference Planning Committee.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Completing the Organized Session Submission Form and submitting that sheet with the session proposal on Ex Ordo.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Identifying and inviting their session participants, ensuring that they have uploaded their abstracts to Ex Ordo and that those abstracts have been noted as being a part of that Organized Session, and ensuring that they are registered for the conference and will attend the Organized Session.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Serving as the chair (or designating a person to chair) for each symposium.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Session Organizers are responsible for identifying and inviting their session\u2019s participants. Organizers are encouraged to seek a geographically and intellectually diverse group of participants. We strongly encourage all organizers to identify contributors whose work will allow for comparisons across different theoretical or disciplinary perspectives, methodological approaches, and geographic and\/or cultural contexts.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nIf you are chairing\/submitting a panel\/organized session, follow the below guidelines:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Under Tracks, select &#8220;Panel\/Organized Session Abstract (90-120 min)&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Under Format, select\u00a0 &#8220;Oral.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Provide a title and detailed description (purpose and content) for the organized session (\u2264500 words). Enter this into the online form. For panel discussions, round tables, or other (i.e., not oral presentations), the proposal should indicate the proposed session format and list the panelists (with their associated title, affiliation, country, and email address). This should be indicated within the organized session abstract description.<\/li>\n<li>Provide the name and affiliation information for the Session Organizer(s) in the online system under the \u201cAuthors\u201d step.
