Reading and writing groups

Several reading groups will be continuing on next semester, and we will post more information about those here once it becomes available.

The weekly thesis/dissertation writing group that started last semester will continue through the spring (and probably beyond). For more information contact Kyoungnam, knpark123[at]gmail.com.

A hermeneutics reading group is starting up but hasn’t yet organized a meeting time. For more information contact Allan, abreedlove[at]luc.edu.

As usual, the Phenomenology Research Group has several event planned for the upcoming semester and will likely begin advertising reading groups soon. Stay tuned to their website: http://www.phenomenologyresearchgroup.net/ .

Sartre Reading Group: UPDATE

A message from the group’s facilitator, Jake:

The capitalists have been vanquished! So, don’t be afraid to come read a little of the Marxist-tinted writing of Sartre. We will pick up where we left off and read the last part of the introduction (“Critique of Critical Investigation”) as well as the first chapter of the first book (“Individual Praxis as Totalisation”). Meeting time and place will remain the same (Oasis, 9:45pm, 2/12).

If you need a copy of the text or would like more details about the group’s meetings, contact Jake at jnabasny [at] luc [dot] edu.

Sartre Reading Group meeting time [edited]

From the group’s organizer, Jake:

If anyone is interested in an informal Sartre reading group, we will meet Tuesday, January 29th at 9:45pm** at Oasis (north on Sheridan from campus). The first reading will be the introduction and first chapter (“The Dogmatic Dialectic and the Critical Dialectic”) of Sartre’s Critique of Dialectical Reason, which is about 40 pages. The venue may change after the first meeting depending on level of interest. If you have any questions about the logistics of the meeting, email me (jnabasny [at] luc [dot] edu) and I’ll try to help/accommodate them.
