Design of the Seminar:
Each meeting will consist of a lecture by Prof. Walcott, followed by a short break. The discussion segment will be based on a reading pre-assigned to a group of students, who will summarize the main points and assist by posing discussion questions. A total of two readings are required: one for all prior to the first seminar and one for each group.
