This would be a great opportunity for any grad students you all have whose
work falls broadly into this bucket. I went a few years ago and it was
excellent. I also sent a Tulane grad student there and she loved it.

Happy to answer any questions that prospective applicants might have.

   senior facilitating scholars working on similar topics.
