Workshop papers were made available to participants in advance of the workshop. This year's presenters included Mike Bergmann (Purdue), Andy Egan (Michigan), Adam Leite (Indiana), Tyler Burge (UCLA), Peter Markie (Missouri), Brit Brogaard (Missouri-St. Louis), Jonathan Weinberg (Indiana), Juan Comesaña (Wisconsin).
