We can make different room arrangements available, indoors and outdoors. Possible session formats include:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Abbreviated positions or arguments briefly presented by participants at the beginning of the session (summarizing their web-posted papers), followed by discussion among participants and\/or with the audience.<\/li>\n<li>A well-developed position paper initially read by a single author and then commented on by different participants and\/or by the audience.<\/li>\n<li>Posters presented in related groups and offered for discussion during specific time slots.<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrations, workshops, debates, panels and forums are all suitable formats for WAC-5 sessions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #cc0000;font-size: large\">How to Propose a WAC-5 Session<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To participate as part of an established theme, please contact the theme convener\/s (on the web site or by other means) and coordinate your session through them.
