How+to+use+the+Proceedings

This page provides instructions about how to plan your conference experience by previewing the sessions, how to find information to use in your own scholarship, and how to join in conversation with other practitioners and scholars around the world. The //Proceedings// allows for interactivity, so we invite you to ask questions and leave comments on each session page. Occasionally, the wiki editor function seems to have a mind of its own, so we also ask for your patience with any format inconsistencies that may arise. We believe that the interactive potential of the wiki outweighs these minor shortcomings. **How to plan your conference experience or find information to use in your own scholarship ** //Using the navigation bar to find conference sessions: //
