Notes on the Back Row

Sit anywhere

A civic brochure from the School of Emergent Priorities invites the University's neighbours into its open lectures, where a semester-long survey of where everyone sits, reported as distributions of seat distance from the doorway, now sets each theatre's median seat, and no lecture begins until that seat is occupied. It cites six published studies by title and DOI and profiles the researchers who read the room.
