Theories of the Mind 2010
Provisional timetable
The general pattern will be: one or two seminars on the theories of each theorist, followed by two or one seminar/s on their application to literature. The way it goes depends on how much time you need on each theorist: one, or two weeks. Watch this space...
The classes will be taught on Tuesdays, at 2 pm and 3 pm, and Wednesdays, at 1 pm. I am happy for you to change from one class to another, but this year each class is packed full, so I'm afraid you'll have to find someone to exchange with in order to do so. Come and see me if this is a problem: my office hours this year are 1-2 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays.
