Our meetings are open, but a RSVP is required.  A preliminary schedule for our four meetings in the coming academic year will be published in the next weeks.  For practical reasons these four meetings will be Zoom only events.  If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to write to Heidi Hansen (heh2135 [at] columbia.edu).
