Trainees will meet daily in a seminar format with the preceptor and their peers to discuss a selection of articles, book selections, and visual media. Each day, trainees will present the main argument of one of the assigned readings to their peers as well as raising critical questions for discussion. They will be expected to engage in discussions of all of the assigned readings with a degree of rigor comparable to that of a graduate seminar in the humanities or social sciences.
