On November 13^th, Martin Danahay will present the final fall-semester theory colloquium on The Matrix Reloaded (12:30pm, UH213).  If you want to discuss your work, either via formal presentation or informal discussion, during the spring semester, please let me know.  You need not present a formal paper but can feel free just to chat about your work in progress, esp if the work is in its early stages.

We could also use these monthly sessions to discuss a theoretical topic (and perhaps reading) of common interest.  In this sense, our monthly meetings could be viewed as a reading group or a discussion group.  In effect, you could view yourself as a discussion leader or facilitator.  (For example, we could discuss Derrida's and Habermas' recent interviews about terrorism.)  Let me know if you have a topic or idea for spring, and want to be responsible for facilitating discussion about it.

Finally, I'd like to send out regularly a list of writings that people have published recently or are working on.  Not everyone around the table knows what the next person is doing or has done recently.  If there is something that you want mentioned, drop me a line and I'll collect these and post them.
