PROGRAM
Beginning at 10:00 a.m., refreshments (light snacks, coffee, tea, etc.) will be available. We will start the workshop promptly at 10:30 a.m..
In order to maximize discussion, authors will not make detailed presentations. Instead, they may offer brief introductory comments, and then we will open the floor to questions. Participants are expected to have read the papers (below) so that virtually all of the time can be devoted to Q&A.

11:30 a.m.: Andrew Thompson (GW), Ethan Busby (BYU), and Suzy Yi (BYU): “Which Matters More, The Means or the Ends? Preferences for Responsiveness in Process and Policy”
