Come as you are.

Drop in whenever you can find the time and for however long you can find the time, regardless of whether you have read the texts in advance.

Those who can only drop by for 15 minutes in the middle of a session without having done the readings will be just as welcome as those who read the texts twice over in advance and stay for full sessions. Don’t be embarrassed or shy either way. Open your mind to the possibility that you arrive at the perfect time to either share an unexpected gift of knowledge with the group or receive an unexpected gift.

You are welcome to forward this invitation to other friends and fellow travelers with whom you would like to be in community.

Padlet

This is a place where folks can participate in discussions asychronously in addition to or in lieu of participating synchronously. Post comments and questions (in audio, video, or text format), reflect on the background readings, and/or add supplementary texts and other media to the site.

Posts to the padlet will inform conversations during the synchronous sessions. Notes taken and markings made during the synchronous sessions will also be posted on the padlet.

Join the Conversation

Pre-Session Primer

I’d like to begin by marking a distinction that I think will be very helpful for us throughout this seminar and study group: the distinction between (i) an ideology, (ii) a process, (iii) the product of a process, and (iv) the wake of a process.

Intellectual Generosity

The magnanimous intellectual doesn’t out-read others but, rather, reads-ahead for others and then backtracks in order to read-in others.
