"An Introduction to Calibrated Geometry"

We will start by using Dominic Joyce's book on Calibrated Geometry 'Riemannian holonomy groups and calibrated geometry' to give a nice introduction to calibration forms and calibrated submanifolds. We will then go through some sections of the paper by Harvey and Lawson titled "Calibrated geometries" to tie calibrated geometry into different areas of geometry. Ideally, we would get to talking about (special) Lagrangian submanifolds if we have the time.
