Symposium Details

All members of the seminar are required to attend, at the very least, a session of approximately three hours (out of a total of nine hours over both days). Several students will be out of town and have made arrangements with me for a make-up assignment. If you can't make it, for any reason, please send me an email message. I'll be sitting mid-way down the bowl, on the near side, of the East Building Auditorium. Please check in with me when you arrive (you might have to wait until a speaker finishes). Your sole duty is to listen attentively, take perceptive notes, and think deeply about the ideas presented. I encourage students to ask questions, but I understand that this might be difficult.

I'm trying to get a better sense of the program for the symposium. For instance, I'd love to know the titles of the talks and the times they will be delivered, (especially Linda Nochlin's). I'll try to find more information, please check back in the next day or two.
