The group meets once a month in a hybrid mode (i.e., both in person and online). Every session is led by a graduate student researcher who introduces in 5 to 10 minutes an article, a book chapter (or chapters), or a book on a selected theme. 1 A discussion then follows, open to all participants. Every session is one
