If you would be interested in leading a discussion next year, please e-mail Anne Johnson with your topic title and a short synopsis along with the times that are convenient for you to present!
If you are not interested in presenting but there is something you would like to learn more about please send your ideas to Anne and she will work at recruiting an expert in the area!
Typically the sessions have been an informal discussion in LA219 with approximately 10-12 participants. The sessions were recorded last year and were posted on the Online Landing page under the faculty tab.
