Talks

In addition to the Plummer Lectures, the talks given at Illinois Yearly Meeting annual sessions or other gatherings are sometimes made available via audio recording or transcript. Though these talks are not a part of ILYM’s formal publications program, we link them here with the permission of the authors so that you might enjoy them, whether or not you could be present when they were delivered.
