Student Presentations
Each student will present two papers to the class during the semester. The readings listed on the readings page provide topics and background information for the presentations.

In preparation for their presentations, students must have read additional background articles on their selected topics, beyond the required readings. Everyone in the class is urged to do the background readings in order to facilitate group discussion.
