Format: Most of the conversations will be held in 4 Round Tables, with a plenary session at the end of the day. Authors and facilitators are assigned to a Round Table for the length of the day (cf. the Program below).

Beforehand: Authors will circulate their papers’ drafts, to be read by everyone at their Round Table. Please upload the most developed version via the EGOS website/submission system by June 12, 2017 – and send it also to Tammar Zilber, who will distribute it among the participants in each Round Table.

Focus of discussion: Productive feedback and suggestions to further develop the papers. – Structure of the conversation:

  • 5 minutes presentation by author
  • 30 minutes discussion by Round Table participants where the author is not allowed to speak [length of discussion will vary according to number of papers to be discussed and time allocated to session]
  • 10 minutes resolution time where the author will reply to questions of Round Table participants

Rationale:
We ask the authors to present their argument in short, contextualize it and draw attention to main points – assuming that everyone has read the paper.
We recommend that authors mainly be in an active listening mode. As authors, we usually respond to reviews by a drive-to-answer, explain, set the record straight. However, such explanations and justifications often work to distance the discussion from opening up, and leave little time to get richer and deeper comments.
We believe that the best way to make the most out of a round-table discussion of a paper is to get as many comments, suggestions and questions from the participants, and let them engage in a conversation, rather than having the author respond to critiques.
We trust that all the authors in our PDW 03 have answers, or will come up with ones, once you are back working on your paper after the Colloquium [and we will read them once the paper is published]. For the duration of the round-table discussions, however, the more the authors ask (instead of reply) and listen to queries (rather than talk), the better!
