Workshop A – Understanding the Conference Streams The purpose of each workshop is to establish the frame (scope, depth and breadth) of the particular stream to provide participants with “hooks” upon which to hang what they hear in subsequent concurrent presentations. This may include pointing to historical knowledge & theoretical base, current thinking, new developments, and divergent views on the stream. See page 23 for a description of the streams. Sign up for your session of choice near the registration desk. Approaches, methods & tools: George Briscoe Room |
