Hello all,

Me and a fellow PhD-er at my university have set up a staff/student reading group and I'll be leading the first session on Friday. It's based around a broad topic and every month we circulate a couple of short texts with the aim that people will turn up ready for stimulating debate!
Has anybody here done something anything before and could give me some tips on how to lead the debate? I have a grand total of one day to prepare so all help is most welcome!

Can you give us a rough idea of the field? I could tell you about doing this kind of thing in my field, but not in other fields...

I study literature but it's open to history, art history etc. as well...If that's any help? We're looking at a section from a play and a bit of theory.
