PCPN’s Spring Break

20 Apr

With universities’ lecture schedules winding down, and the Pittsburgh Continental Philosophy Reading Group taking a break until late May to allow everyone to get all their final papers and such done, it is probable that there will be a gap in updates for the next few weeks. But fear not, weekly updates will be returning in late May/early June.
