A note on the reading schedule: Since I’m still finalizing the dates for guest speakers and other special events, this reading list will likely change, perhaps a lot, over the quarter. Be sure and check the reading in advance of each class.<\/em><\/p>\n

If readings are freely available, they’re linked directly from this list. If the readings aren’t linked here, they’re available on CCLE.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
