This session takes place in smaller groups which are facilitated by the Editorial Team.

- One of the SI editors, Zoe Sanderson, is conducting PhD research on the development of critical perspectives in WOP. As part of this, Zoe hopes to record the general discussion section of each workshop (not the paper development sections). She will provide more information about the research and give you the chance to indicate whether you wish to participate before and/or at the workshops.
