colloquiums

I'm really enjoying the ones sponsored at the business school and at the sociology department. Not that law schools don't have great workshops, but interdisciplinariness does require that you go outside of department. Today I learned a lot about China's institution-driven gradualist economic reform. Pretty nifty.

Different types of questions per different audiences, even if the audience is generally comprised of the same mix of org theorists and sociologists. I gotta represent law one of these days. Also, very interesting the different codes of dress per department, and how most conform to that particular department even if from one with a different code.
