Speaker: Scott Thornbury
18.00 - 18.30 Introduction to MASH JALT Equinox 2010 by organizers
18.30 - 20.00 Scott Thornbury: The Secret History of Methods
I'm regularly asked, "What's the latest method?", suggesting that the concept of method persists, despite recent attempts to bury it; "The method concept is dead!" I will review the history of methods, both to critique it, and to draw some lessons from past methods, arguing that (a) there is nothing new under the sun and (b) dogme is not a method!
20.00 Dinner - separate reservation required. 30 people max. Soul Food India
