The Colloquium is an introduction to each other and to the faculty, including interests and approaches. In each session we will be joined by a different member of the faculty who will also have suggested readings for that week. The material assembled here is diverse but connected through prevailing interests in bodies in space, whether in terms of biopolitical manipulation or in terms of post-occupancy analysis. Through encounters with some of the key texts in the many disciplines and specialties within the Daniels Faculty, the colloquium will foster connections between some of these specialties and will be a way for students to think laterally about their own work as they begin the program. The focus of the semester will be on the discussions around each week’s reading.
