I will be available at Chestnut Street to meet with those of you who need me (e-mail me to confirm a meeting time/place), otherwise you should be preparing 8-12pp. written excerpts for our first workshopping presentations.
***Since we meet on Tuesdays, it is important that you get your excerpts to your colleagues by Saturday night (midnight at the latest), preferably earlier than that, in order to ensure everybody has the time to read your excerpt and comment on it in a helpful way.***
Many of you are having your mid-term reviews over the next three weeks while we are doing presentations, so please choose a date for presenting that takes all that into consideration. Please don't just choose the latest possible date so that you can put off work to the last possible moment, thus forcing colleagues of yours who really do need to present later to get stuck with an earlier date.
Everybody should be writing already, but if you aren't start now. Many of you will be doing an initial reading of one of your objects, others of you will be writing more general pieces mapping out the conceptual terrain you are addressing yourself to or providing a sketch surveying the literature that precedes your own piece. What you do is up to you, everybody's process is different. Don't worry about perfection in early drafts, it is early in the process and everybody will benefit from the comments of your colleagues. What matters is that you sit down and get down to actual writing!

Hi Dale. Do you think we could meet tomorrow around 2-2:15pm at Chestnut? Let me know if you are available at this time.
Go to the courtyard at Chestnut -- I'll be there. By 2.15 Emily and I will probably have finished up -- and at some point Bella is coming by, too, but there should be plenty of time to talk to everybody. I'll leave around three if nobody comes by for a while and I start getting bored...
HI Dale,
If you still have time tomorrow, I'd like to stop by and see you. I work at Walter McBean until 2:30. I'll come find you after to see what time you might fit me in.
Best,
Sheeka
Can I please present following Bella on Tuesday at 6? Thanks. Cole
Dale, I just wanted to check up on the emails I've been sending you. I sent three: the forward about the meeting, a forward of my report, and another with the Tedtalk and asking you to arrange the meeting space. So yeah, please let me know if you didn't get any of those. Thanks!
All is well! d
