Dear Colleagues:
This is a reminder of the dates and speakers for our fall seminars. The
first one will be held Friday, September 18, at 2 pm at the Newberry
Library and includes a change. Professor Gourley will not be able to
attend, so I will present instead the introductory chapter of a book
that I am currently finishing, entitled The Chanting Art of the Mardi
Gras Indians in New Orleans. As usual, a page with paragraph synopses of
the two papers to be discussed will be emailed to all of you about three
weeks before the date of each seminar, with an invitation to contact
Leslie Kan, secretary of the seminar (see below), for copies of the paper.
See you soon!
