We would like to give you the opportunity to share your semester research, present a paper or chapter and receive feedback! This is an informal meeting, but in order to allow everyone to receive feedback, I would like to assign at least one respondent for each presenter. In order to do so, please provide by December 1st:

1.  A short abstract of the paper/chapter/work-in-progress and 5 keywords;
2. A list of topics that you would be interested in reading about;
3. Your paper. I will circulate the papers on the bCourses site of the working group (if you do not have access to it, please email me at am.caglioti@berkeley.edu ) so that everyone will be able to read them, but having a respondent will make sure that everyone receives substantial feedback. THIS IS A LOW PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT MEANT TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR END-OF-THE SEMESTER PAPERS, SO PLEASE DO NOT BE SHY!

In addition, our visiting scholars Crispin Barker and Devaleena Kundu are planning to put together a discussion group concerning topics like death and aging next semester. If you are interested, please contact Crispin at crispin.barker@berkeley.edu .
