12:30: lunch and a viewing of the third of the Sacred Leaves exhibits at the USF library: Liturgy and Devotion, Manuscripts from England to Ethiopia; the curator, Lesley Stone, will present the exhibition.
2:00 - 4:30: Session 2 - we envision a series of shorter "introductions" of research projects or issues in teaching and curricular development. Ideally, we could precirculate something modest, a grant proposal or a syllabus, for example, and allot 15-20 minutes for each individual resentation/discussion.
Those interested should submit proposals now.
