***August Detentions have been cancelled due to Comprehensive Exams. We will however return in the fall with a lunch program on Costas Douzinas and Slavoj Zizek's "The Idea of Communism." Hope you can rejoin us then.
Please RSVP (so I know how much coffee to make) or send inquires to: Michael English - [email protected]. Please put Summer Detention in the subject heading.
Those interested but unable to attend the first meeting please let us know as the location may change
Our only requirement is that participants come prepared for a discussion, which means you should try reading as much of the text as you find interesting for the given week.
