2013-14 Research Plan and Fall 2013 Kickoff

CGC will be meeting again this year with a focus on questions of "Methods" and "Historiographies".  Our plan, roughly, is as follows:

* Fall 2013 -- readings from the late 60s and early 70s on method; meetings Thursdays at 2p
* Winter 2014 -- Foucault's 1971 CdF lectures, "Lectures on the Will to Know" (in its entirety)
* Spring 2014 -- workshop on shared problems in collaborators' own research projects

We will have a kickoff meeting on Wed Oct 2nd at 3:30p in SCH 250A (Colin's office); meetings thereafter will be every Thursday at 2:00p in SCH 211B.  We will not meet on Thurs Oct 24th (due to the SPEP conference).
