Private Webpage for BHS Seminar Participants 

This is a private web page where I have posted readings you will need for the Beacon Hill Seminars Spring 2018 seminar entitled "Absalom, Absalom!"  

​Please do not distribute links to this webpage, as it is not visible to the general public.
​
You are invited to browse through the rest of this website, visit my Blog entitled "Education as Conversation," and download a preview of my novel, One Man's Purpose.

WE HAVE NOW ENDURED TWO SNOW DAYS, MARCH 14 AND MARCH 21. 

ON MARCH 28, WE WILL DISCUSS THE ASSIGNMENTS FOR BOTH MARCH 14 AND MARCH 21.

THEREAFTER, ADJUST THE "DUE DATES" BY ONE WEEK, THAT IS, WE WILL DISCUSS THE ASSIGNMENT FOR MARCH 28 ON APRIL 4, AND SO ON. WE WILL END ON MAY 2.

​If you encounter problems, contact me at sds@mit.edu
