Dear colleagues,
A few of us in our hallway have decided to start a reading group for March – June – for everyone: faculty, staff, and grad students.

For the first text we have selected The Politics of Aesthetics by Jacques Ranciere.
If you are interested in studying with us, let us know by March 1, and then we’ll figure out together what the best times and places might be for our weekly meetings. We think it will be fun!
