Students participating in this seminar will be expected to (1) contribute to a "seminar bibliography" list that briefly describes the relevant contributions of a wide range of papers, (2) present a paper from this bibliography, and (3) actively discuss papers being presented. At the beginning of each meeting, about 20 minutes will be devoted to discussing the bibliography and the remainder of the time will be to listening to and discussing the week's paper(s).
At the first meeting, students will be expected to have done a brief survey of existing areas and have identified several papers that relate to the seminar topic.
