Session Submission Type: Paper Session
B.E.S.T. sessions are "Brief Entertaining Scholarly Talks." In this relatively new format, each participant gives a 4-5 minute, high-energy, technology-enhanced presentation designed to excite the audience about the research. For the final 30 minutes of the session, presenters and audience members meet in 3 small breakout groups to discuss ideas stimulated by that set of papers.
Waveland Press will sponsor an award for the Best of the B.E.S.T. as judged by the session respondents.
