Open Forum
We had a good turnout for the first session two weeks ago. The “Open Forum” will continue on a bi-weekly schedule. This is a no-pressure space for brief (room reserved for only 45 minutes!) conversations serious and/or absurd. We often provide wine, cheese, and other edibles. Guest presentations are welcome; try out your project or paper ideas on us. Or just come and chat.
Next session:
Wednesday Oct. 7, 8:30pm-9:15pm, KJCC Room 109
See “Schedule” page for upcoming dates.

Meanwhile, if interested, begin reading the first volume, Swann’s Way, any edition or language. RSVP requested!

Thesis Writers Forum
Unfortunately, canceled for the Fall semester, due to limited interest and scheduling conflicts. If interested in forming a group for the Spring semester, please email suggestions or questions. This can be for both those writing their theses during Spring 2010, and those planning to write during subsequent semesters.
