To participate in this seminar:

1.Please register for the AAR’s June online meeting.  Registration gives you access to the entire 3-day meeting.

Note: If you are attending the in-person AAR meeting in November, you get a $40 discount on the cost of registration for the June meeting.

2. If you are not on the mailing list, sign yourself up at https://listserv.ohio.edu/mailman/listinfo/aar-mbh and pick your username and password. You will then receive the three papers that will be discussed at the June meeting. After reading their papers, bring the questions and comments you have for the authors to the June meeting. AAR’s seminar format does not allow time for actually presenting the papers in full, so most of the session is reserved for discussion.

Thanks and I hope to see many of you there!
