Milestones for laboratory experiments

2009

Meeting to plan initial experiments. Conduct first two experiments.

2010

Meeting to plan next series of experiments. Conduct five more experiments.

2011

Conduct five more experiments.

Hold a workshop to discuss the results of the experiments that have been conducted in 2009 and 2010. This workshop will be organized jointly with the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship (CDSC) at McGill University. The workshop will include guest researchers who are not part of this MCRI project but who do experimental work in related areas. Not only will their participation contribute to the intellectual vitality of the workshop, but it will also ensure our results are communicated to our academic audience even at this early stage. The CDSC will publish these papers online as working papers, which will attract even wider attention.

2012

We plan to have approximately ten papers reporting the results of our initial experiments when the midterm report is submitted in June 2012.
