This term we will be tackling a variety of articles rather than a monograph. I hope this added flexibility can encourage new people to join, even if they cannot make the meeting every week.

Each week there will be two online meetings of the group to discuss the same section of text, one on Wednesday night at 5pm UK time, one on Thursday morning at 9 am UK time, in hopes of accommodating group members in a variety of time zones. There is no need to attend all meetings-please come when you can.
