Who: André Lepecki
What: Please join Professor André Lepecki for a get-together on Wednesday, September 1tth. Whether you are a B.A., an M.A., or a Ph.D. candidate; whether you are a first-year student, a seasoned ABD, new in the US, or an immigrant for a while, as long as you are an international student come meet your PS peers and share your experiences, puzzlements, questions, or simply your stories. This gathering will not be an official “orientation,” nor another “official welcome” — but simply an occasion for us all to assemble informally and get to know each other a bit better. Or, to paraphrase David Bowie, let's share together the joy of “believing the strangest things, loving the alien”!
