SEA Panel Guidelines:

Please remember to keep your papers short enough to fit into the time allotted. For instance, a paper that is 10-pages, double-spaced, 12-point, with the font Courier New will take about 20 minutes to read. If you plan to make extemporaneous remarks during the reading of the paper, then please limit your typed paper accordingly.

Panel Sessions will be one hour and a half, which will allow for brief introductions, 3 papers of 20 minutes each; 4 papers of 15 minutes each; or a Roundtable with 5 speakers of 10 minutes each, followed by 15 minutes for discussion.

Panels work best when we can hear all the papers and then have enough time for discussion. Thanks for your help in making the sessions rewarding experiences for all.
