Vision Journal Club Fall 2024

Welcome to the (pop-up) Vision Journal Club (VJC)

The course meets 12-1pm on Tuesdays in Kincaid 501

This is a 1 CR class where we read and discuss a vision paper every week. It’s a graduate class but undergraduates are very welcome.

Please register for PSYCH 560 W (Instructor Geoffrey Boynton) if you can!

For questions about VJC, contact Vaishnavi Mohan (vbmohan)

Student responsibilities

• All students should read the paper(s) before the paper discussion
• The day before the journal club all students will be expected to post one question or discussion comment on this google document.
• Each week either one graduate student or a graduate student/undergraduate pair will act as discussion leaders. They can select a paper from the list below, or choose their own. Do not choose a paper before reading it – that’s always a terrible idea!
