Caucuses provide an opportunity for scholars to innovate, share, and discuss emergent ideas that are still in the incubatory stage. Caucuses are designed to provide participants with opportunities to collaborate, develop new ideas, and explore emerging topics regarding the conference theme in a convenient, informal way to develop a community and spark potential collaborations. Caucuses’ deliberations are an informal exchange with facilitators rather than a designated presenter(s). The organizers typically serve as discussion leaders but do not make a formal presentation.
Caucuses are scheduled on Mondays and Tuesdays together in 90 minute scholarly time blocks with the refereed scholarly program.
