These presentations should be no more than 15 minutes. A discussant will be included, depending on the needs of the session.
(2)
Roundtable Presentation: Roundtables will be used to provide a forum for students, junior, and accomplished researchers to present their mixed method research proposals and project in various phases of completion to an audience of peers, colleagues, and experts. Individual presentations will last 15 minutes. A discussant will have 15 minutes to provide suggestions for improvements in the works presented.
