The Spring 2001 Cognitive Science Mind & Matter Colloquium Series

 
 

Hello, everyone.  This semester, all talks will be held at the Institute of Cognitive Science in Rougeou, on the third floor (Room 322).  The series will generally be scheduled for Friday afternoons, although there are a few exceptions below.  For those who wish, we'll regard this as a bag lunch series, as the time that seems to suit most people's schedules is Friday, at 2.  If you would like to be on either the e-mail or snail-mail lists to receive reminder notices regarding the talks, please click on the following link (cech@louisiana.edu) to send me e-mail, or leave a message at 482-6585.  And if you are interested in participating as a speaker, either this semester or in the future, let me know that, too;  still-open dates are listed below, in addition to the already-scheduled talks.
