  1. This looks like an excellent panel, I’m sorry to have missed it. For citation purposes, may I ask who authored your panel overview/chaired the panel? Thank you much (for the info and for pushing this important work forward).

    1. Dear Jess–Thanks for your comment. David Mitchell wrote the panel overview and organized the panel, and you may be interested to know that he has a book forthcoming from the University of Michigan Press that engages some of the themes discussed in this panel as well.
