Below you’ll find the promised list of readings that I have assembled so far, with citation information (no links for each one just yet…). Also, I’ve only assigned readings up through Week 4, as I’m assuming we’ll take some time to group the others at the bottom of the list collectively (and find more). We’ll discuss this on Tuesday…Finally, I’ll work on getting these items into Diigo so keep checking there if you’d like to add notes for each one.
