The presenters would like to engage in some live conversation with selected members of the audience: If you would like to be considered for that, please register below and write to paxchristima@gmail.com by January 25 with your comments and/or questions, plus a brief introduction of yourself, your location, your affiliated organization (if applicable), and your contact information. One of the organizers may contact you to discuss the possibility of your joining the forum to talk with the panelists directly.
