The first draft of the program is now available

The draft program is now available here.

Notes:

1. It is a tentative document, still subject to change. While the panels may shift around the structure will not.

2. We have tried to include everybody but may have missed out some by mistake. Whoever doesn’t see their names should get in touch with Moses Okello at chrispusmoses.okello@gmail.com. Those authors who withdrew their presentations but still see their names in the program should get in touch immediately; we tried to eliminate them all to the best of our knowledge.

3. Some of the panels do not have Chairs assigned to them, but we are sorting that out based on a list drawn from those individuals who requested to chair panels.

4. Additional comments and suggestions to be send to Moses Okello.

5. People who have not submitted papers to do so ASAP. They should be emailed to irinianastassiou@gmail.com.
