Discussions typically run over a two-week period, with discussion materials circulated in advance by the Network Convenors. Each e-seminar features a moderator and discussants to facilitate discussion; however, all list members <https://lists.easaonline.org/postorius/lists/medianthro-easaonline.org.lists.easaonline.org/> are welcome to participate. Many authors find the constructive feedback valuable in enhancing their manuscripts for publication.
