Let's reinvigorate the Center for Theory!  I'm proposing a meeting on
Wednesday, February 26th, at noon in University Hall 213.  If you can't
come, we'll send you a summary of the meeting.  In the meantime, feel free
to send me/us ideas about what you want on our emerging agenda.

1.  For myself, I'd like to have some discussion about launching a speakers
series, bringing in national and international people.

2. I 'd like the Center for Theory to play a more active role in
graduate-student recruitment (so that we faculty have students with whom to
work and so that our courses 'make'!)

3. We already have a Web page (www.uta.edu/center-for-theory/
<http://www.uta.edu/center-for-theory/> ) and we could use someone to update
and improve this.

4.  At the risk of utopianism that may be unjustified in these times, I'd
really like to start a conversation about converting the Center for Theory
into an academic home.

Also, please send me the names and e-mail addresses of faculty and grad
students who may not know about this group because they are new to UTA so
that I can include them on the Center's listserv and thus invite them to
this meeting.
And please inform interested parties about this meeting and bring them
along.

Best,
Ben Agger
