One lecture per Crossing, in the week that Crossing opens — the motive, the method, and the sources behind it.
There’s one lecture per Crossing, in the week that Crossing opens — so a lecture every fortnight, and never one in the week you’re reporting back.
Every one of them is split half and half. The convenor takes the first half: the idea, and why this Crossing is worth your time. That Crossing’s own tutor takes the second: how you actually go and do it, and what you owe the room when you get back. For Crossings 3 and 6 those are the same person, so the halves are marked out by what they cover rather than by who is standing there.
All six are here, slides included. Every Crossing’s brief lives on its own Crossing page regardless, so nothing you need in order to go and do the work is only in a lecture.
