meeting the authors
This week will be interestingly different from those previous, because you'll have the opportunity to meet w/ the authors of the texts we will be discussing. I've invited Paul Grobstein to join us on Monday, when we'll discuss both his essay on science as storytelling and revising, and mine on literature as a form of exploration. On Wednesday we'll be hosting a visit from Afsaneh Najmabadi, to discuss her essay on "Truth of Sex," as well as the decisions that led her from an initial BA and MA in physics to her current work, as professor of history and women's studies at Harvard.
So: post here your questions for each/any/all of these authors; give us/them a heads up about what you'd like to discuss/know more about/understand better/push back on in our/their essays. We'll all be interested to know what/how our essays have provoked you to think.
