Folks, here’s the updated schedule for our class’s Panel Discussions and lectures for this semester, which I had to rearrange because of all the events this semester on Tuesdays.Some of the readings and preparations are still TBA. As well, it’s looking like lecture time is getting to be too short, so I may indeed change some of my scheduled lectures to MP3 lectures, so you can download and listen before class, and then we can discuss any questions you might have during our precious classtime!

Note that there will be one makeup class held this semester. Hopefully we can have it during an afternoon where most or all students can attend, and then we can go out for a bit together afterward.

Note also that this may still change somewhat. I’ll let you know if anything big changes, and will post about it here!
