Fall 2007 Reading Group

Objectives

This reading group is open to anyone who want to learn more about IR. Since new students are expected to form majority, we'll be focusing on fundamentals. We'll meet every week and discuss two papers, which will be presented by two members. We'll take turns to choose and present the paper we found interesting as well as being potentially helpful to others.

We hope that it will be an informal meeting in which participants can freely share their ideas and learnings without much burden. Presentors don't have to prepare slides, just create and link wiki page in 'Schedule' section and be prepared to explain the contents with the assumption that the audience have no background in the subject matter.

Schedule

Friday 11:00am-12:00am (from 9/28 ~ end of semester)
