Format: Send a paper to the whole group one week in advance (restrict yourself to a 10,000 word limit -- you can send a longer document but please clearly indicate at the head which pages approximating 10,000 words you want people to read). Everyone is expected to read every wekk's paper. Each session will begin with a very brief 5-7 minute overview of the paper by the commentator followed by a question or two by the commentator. We will then go around in a circle and everyone else will pose a question or comment. We will then turn to group discussion, with the focus being on how the paper can be improved rather than a q&a style interview of the author.
