Preliminary Program
On Friday (4th), we are discussing texts by our invited speakers — Siddhant Issar, Kelly Gillespie, and Paula Biglieri - with short introductions by the authors. The texts will be forwarded to all registered participants in September. We are asking everyone to read them in advance so we can jump right in on the workshop day.
