In this workshop we will move from the materials shared in Poetics as Cosmology and begin to conceive of and implement a Saturation Job and/or Multi-Decade Research Project. This will require an understanding of the materials covered in the Poetics as Cosmology course AND materials to be covered in the Seriality (A Workshop) course. So, if you sign up, please do engage the materials and come ready to discuss them. This class is limited to 20 participants. There will be 30 minute private sessions for all participants.
