SYLLABUS (A WORK IN PROGRESS)

Each week will be organized around topics and associated resources: readings, videos, etc. Our goal is to offer two synchronous and two asynchronous events each week. The “director(s)” of each week takes the lead on that week’s activities–including delegation, of course.
