As in previous weeks, your assignment for this week is to formulate a detailed question about something in the required readings that you find confusing or intellectually unsatisfying, give an objection to one of the readings' arguments, or do some independent research that gives us some reason to doubt what the author(s) say.
EDITED ON WEDNESDAY, NOV. 4th:
This week, I have to cancel our normal Thursday-afternoon optional zoom call, as I have to give a talk on Thursday afternoon. And so Slack is the only way to submit your assignment this week. However, I am extending the deadline for the assignment until Friday, November 6th at 11:59pm.
