The Sheldon Scheps Memorial Library Lecture series was conceptualized as an informal space of intellectual exchange where students and faculty (ours as well as visitors from other departments and other universities) could engage in critical exchange of ideas, and with each other’s work. Faculty present works-in-progress, rather than finished or published work. Students also may make presentations, and we have been able to pair students with faculty who are not involved with the student’s work.
