Organization

Each week will be a particular them lead by a faculty member of student. There will be one main paper read by everyone on the them. Several secondary papers will be assigned for individual students to read. At each session the lead will lead a discussion of the main paper. The readers of the secondary papers will give short reviews of their papers, about 5 minutes each.
