This Fall we will meet via Zoom at 6:30pm. For the link, you will need to RSVP to Mairead Hynes at m.hynes@columbia.edu. We will continue our practice of continuing with a more casual conversation over a meal following the seminar. We will have a short break in between so everyone can get their meal and get settled. We look forward to seeing you.
