Method: we will discuss one text in each of the first 8 or 9 sessions. Participants are to upload a short summary of the relevant text before each session (i.e. main theses and arguments for them), together with questions for discussion (if any). In each session one (or more) participant will chair the discussion and ensure that we distribute our attention in a suitable way across the various aspects of the text in question. Towards the end of the semester we will spend ca. 4 sessions on participants’ short presentations on one of a list of (ca. 10) essay topics issued by the organiser. (Participants can also get their own essay topics approved.). The presentations will be followed by discussion with the other participants. The essays should then be elaborated on the basis of the presentation and the feedback received in the discussion.
