Criteria for organizing sessions

  • Each meeting focuses on a single topic.
  • The main reading should be accessible to students who are just starting out.
  • Whenever possible, complementary readings are added for those who want to go deeper.
  • Facilitators don’t have to “teach a class”: they coordinate the reading and guide the discussion.
