This is a 5-day course. Each day will begin with a guest lecturer's talk, and then a seminar follows based on the talk and pre-circulated material. At the end of the morning session, the participants will organize themselves into small teams focusing on some specific question of the given topic.
The teams will be expected to prepare a presentation (to develop a position, or argue against one etc.) Then lunch. In the first half of the afternoon the teams will be preoccupied with preparing their presentations, and in the second half they present their work.
