Thank you for your interest in being involved with the NERA 2024 Conference! This year's theme is "Promoting Social Responsibility in Educational Research." Your contributions as a chair and/or discussant are vital to the success of the conference. To improve the interactions between chairs, discussants, presenters, and the audience, we have provided descriptions of the chair and discussant roles below. As the conference approaches, we will be providing additional information and support.

What is the role of the Chair?
The role of the chair is to facilitate the organization of the presentation session. Duties may include collecting papers, communicating with authors, managing audio/visual equipment, and ensuring the timeliness of the session. 

What is the role of the Discussant?
Discussants are responsible for drawing from their expertise to comment on papers and presentations. The goal is to provide professional and constructive criticism and raise issues for broader consideration that connect to these works.
