We will strive to make the classroom inclusive;\u00a0the goal is to hear from every student in each class (although naturally, in some classes, some students have more interest in the topic and so will speak more; rather, the idea is that no one person or group of persons should ever dominate every seminar). Please see the section on \u2018Respect and Inclusion\u2019 on this website, and we can discuss the first\u00a0class\u00a0a set of agreements on how we want to be together.
