Treaty Rights and Natural Resources

ESPM 3001/5001

Assignment Roster

This is the current status of sign-ups to be group discussion leaders for the topics we will be reading about. Sign up early (see me) to lead the discussion on one of the remaining topics. Please consider the reading assignment entries in the table below as tentative. Hit the highlighted links in the table to find the full bibliographic information. Some of these are in the text, others may only be on the Reserve shelf in the EFW Library; still others may be on electronic reserve either at the University Library E-reserves site, or, locally on this course website. Guest speaker listings appear in fluorescent pink, and the dates of their appearances must be assumed to be tentative. NOTA BENE: "Assignment" date in the table below identifies the material we will be discussing during the indicated class session. If possible, read ahead so you will not be inconvenienced if the reserve material is not accessible immediately before the discussion date.
