The purpose of this page is to provide supplementary material on previous talks. Most of the papers listed can easily be found in pdf form by cutting and pasting their citations into scholar.google.com, and then clicking on the "Yale Fulltext" link that usually appears to the right of an entry. For this to work, however, one must be connected to the Yale network.
