If you would like to volunteer to circulate your work for a workshop, email Sally.  Note that we do not have funding for travel or provide an honorarium.  We do serve you dinner and take you to drinks after.  If you need a place to stay in the Cambridge-Boston area, we can probably find someone for you to stay with.
