On 27 January I will give an introductory presentation. The 28 January and 6 February sessions will also be facilitated by me. The sessions on 28 January and 3-5 February will cover a number of original (historical and more contemporary) texts. Texts will be sent to the participants by 10 January. Instead of an exam, participants will be required to read all texts (which will be proved by completing small written tasks, as will be explained in detail later), and every participant will have to lead a session of ca. 60 minutes on one of the texts during the sessions 3-5 February, including a small introductory presentation. This will be coordinated with the participants in January.
