Lightning Rounds are similar to PechaKucha and will be held in person in Montréal. Each session features eight presenters. Each scholar will have five minutes to present, followed by five minutes of feedback or Q&A. This format provides a structured framework, giving presenters not only an opportunity to share their research at the world’s largest political science meeting, but also an opportunity to develop and enhance research communication skills through a concise presentation.
