We would like SRG to continue to exist. The plan is that most of the time, S-side members of the department will offer informal, low-key presentations of the work they've been doing in the past year or so, and the group will be there to provide feedback and ideas. This way, S-siders will be more in touch with each other's work. SRG will continue to be a place where people can give practice talks, we will continue to invite S-side colloq speakers and gurus to talk to us, and if anyone actually wants to read something to discuss, we can do that too. If you want to present or you have an idea of what to read, email me (Anisa).
We're sticking with Thursday evenings, every two weeks or so, and we'll be alternating between Northampton and Amherst locations.
The first real meeting will be this coming Thursday, September 15th, at Barbara's house (50 Hobart Lane in Amherst.) It will be at 6pm, and we'll order some dinner in so we don't starve. Stefan will be presenting his work on long-distance agreement in Hindi.
The next few scheduled meetings are as follows, locations TBA:
... plus hopefully some presentations by gurus and colloq speakers during that time.
As far as the SRG traditions of cocktails and other fancy edibles, we hope that this will emerge organically. If someone wants to provide a fancy edible, we will be happy to consume it.
SRG has a Google calendar! You can access it in any of the following ways:
