At each successive RAT, a few unpredictable topics grab our imaginations and hijack the neurological zone that is supposed to regulate intellectual obsession. For reasons that are sometimes obvious and sometimes harder to explain, these topics rear their heads during a panel or presentation, and then keep popping up in subsequent sessions, spilling over into mealtime conversations and late-night debates. And then on the car ride home, you're left wondering why no one proposed a panel about THAT topic, why there was no forum for THAT strand of debate to unravel. In this unconclusion to the RAT conference, panelists will identify the topics we just couldn't quite get enough of, venture to explain why, and throw out some provocative questions for further discussion, research, and maybe even action, ensuring that these the topics will be squatting the corners of your brain for weeks to come.
