There is NO presentation because everyone will have read the papers. There will be a very brief 3 minute introduction by the authors pointing out possible issues they would like comments on. 2. Round of comments. When reading papers in preparation of the workshop, each of us prepare 2 or 3 main comments for the paper to be raised in the session. For each paper, we also discuss: how do they relate to our theoretical framework? 3. Future steps: what kind of revisions and additions are to be done to the paper now? What kind of new research questions does the paper inspire to? Is there a comparative element (to Uganda Tanzania)?
