Welcome, and updates

By , October 7, 2012 1:30 pm

The “About” and “News and Announcements” pages have been updated for the beginning of the 2012-13 academic year. We have a number of upcoming lectures and presentations, all of which promise to be interesting and provoke lively discussion, and we hope that you will be able to join us on Wednesday evenings throughout the year.

We plan to record as many of this year’s lectures as possible and to post links to the recordings on this blog, as has been done in the past. So you can check this site frequently for news and schedule updates, as well as to listen to lectures that you were unable to attend in person.
