Welcome!

This event is jointly organized by Prof. James Conant (University of Chicago) and Dr. Matthias Haase (Universität Leipzig), with the assistance of Gilad Nir (University of Chicago) and Gino Margani (Universität Leipzig).

The event will take the form of a workshop: the papers will be distributed in advance, and will not be presented by the authors during the workshop itself. The workshop sessions will be devoted entirely to discussion of the pre-distributed papers, with the author of each paper responding to questions and objections from the other participants. All participants are therefore expected to read the papers in advance.
