Traditional Panels

A traditional themed panel typically consists of:

  • 3-4 individual paper presentations with some point of commonality
  • + a panel chairperson who introduces panelists, keeps time, and moderates the Q&A
  • + a commenter who concludes with summative remarks (chair and commenter may be the same person)
  • The session is then open for Q&A from the audience. 


Do you need another participant? Check out the WAWH Collaboration Spreadsheet.
