For all three, participants read a paper in advance of the Workshop meeting, so that meeting itself can be devoted to discussion more than to a formal presentation. The Workshop is not a regular course. Most student participants are already finished with their course work. Nor is it a symposium or lecture series where people drop in now and then. Instead, it is a scholarly community whose members are committed to giving advice, criticism, and intellectual support to one another as they individually and collectively advance their understanding and their research.
New members are always welcome.
