Here's what we'd like you to do:
- Send Susan and Phyllis an email by March 18 saying (in just a sentence or two) what you'd like from the workshop meeting itself. You might also add a sentence or so about any expectations or proposals you'd for ongoing collaboration after the meeting, if you have any.
- Be ready to talk about at least one connection you make between your partner's paper and your own, and at least one connection between your partner's paper and another one or more of the papers. How do these connections point to a significant issues, problems, concerns, or ideas that the workshop can address?
This should give us a way to make sure all the papers get addressed,
connections are made, and that we address the larger issues in what we're
doing.
