<\/center>PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: Please check this Program closely to find the scheduling of your paper as well as your discussant and\/or chair
\nassignment(s).? To help you in this task, see the Participant Locator below.Please note that longstanding WRSA tradition and policy is that all paper presenters may be assigned discussant and\/or chair duties.<\/span><\/em><\/strong>? The Program
\nCo-chairs have attempted to select persons with appropriate skills and interests to discuss each paper, given the very limited number of “degrees of freedom”
\nimposed by scheduling constraints.? Even if you do not consider yourself to be the ideal discussant for the paper you have been assigned, rest assured that the most
\ninteresting suggestions and questions sometimes come from scholars with slightly different perspectives than those of the author.<\/p>\n

The Program Co-chairs consider the Program posted here to be “final” with respect to scheduling papers and will resist making any changes.<\/span><\/em><\/strong>
\nThey’ve attempted to honor all scheduling requests received prior to December 1.? Any further program changes must be kept to a minimum due to the fullness of the
\nProgram and the need not to inconvenience others with last-minute swaps. Even a seemingly simple change will often lead to a chain reaction of other changes.
\nPlease do, however, continue to check this web-site for the most up-to-date version of the Program between now and the opening of the conference in late
\nFebruary.<\/p>\n

Feel free to print out and\/or download this Program.? This year you will not be receiving a hard-copy version in the regular mail.? (In the past these often took quite
\nsometime to reach participants and did not always contain the most up-to-date information.)? Copies of the papers will be e-mailed or mailed out to
\ndiscussants and session chairs in early January.? If you revise your paper after our versions have been sent out, it will be your responsibility to get any newer versions directly to your discussant and chair.? E-mail addresses are given in the Participant Locator.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
