Welcome to what I very much hope will be an exciting course for us all. You can find a copy of the syllabus above. We will discuss it at length in class tomorrow–and it will be subject to revision as a result of our discussion. In the long run, it is likely to change in various ways as the seminar develops its own trajectories over the course of the semester.

You should receive your log in and password to the blog before we meet tomorrow afternoon. Right now, the blog is spare and bare. By the time we’re through, it should reflect the white heat of our collective thought.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow! I’d encourage everyone who has a laptop to bring it to class.
