Try Email First
Many of the inquiries I get can usually be handled by email—in fact, sometimes email is a much better way to handle them. Therefore, I recommend you contact me by email first, unless you believe email is going to be inappropriate or ineffective for what you want to discuss.
Office Hours
During Fall 2024, my focus is on the students in my Brown classes. Therefore, if you are a Brown student, you can sign up for my office hours. I've intentionally picked hours that cross class slot boundaries and that include lunchtime, to maximize the chances of your finding a slot.
If That Won't Work
If you can't make my office hours, please send me mail to schedule a slot. But first:
- Check my travel dates below to confirm I'm in town.
- Then check my calendar below to confirm I'm free.
Please pick times between 9am and 1pm. Depending on the day I may want to meet on Zoom, so if it's important that we meet in person, please indicate that in your message. Do always give multiple suggestions, since I may have constraints that are not visible in my calendar.
Please try to avoid asking for times in the evenings or weekends, unless absolutely necessary. Professors have families and other obligations.
My Calendar
Note: due to the vagaries of Google Calendar, please:
- click on the Week view, since the others seem to drop some entries!
- click on the actual entries to see how long they last (some are several hours long)—Week view should help here, too
