NEW RESEARCH DAY (Wednesday March 17^th) INFORMATION:
GENERAL PLAN: Below is the information from the syllabus about our new research reading day. In general, I’m asking you each to pick a piece of new research and read it, write a review about it (Review #8), and then be prepared to summarize it to your colleagues in class, explaining to us what you think it contributes to our ongoing conversations. My recommendation is to prepare 1-2 slides to help in this presentation.

SIGN UP DETAILS: Please enter your name below the book you plan to read and present to class. (If more than one person wants to read the same book, I’m fine with that (each person would write their own review but then the book could be presented together as a small group). My hope is that we get at least a few examples of new research). I include the option of reading a couple articles from the special issue of Mobilization because this is a leading social movements journal and so these pieces will be citing the work we are reading and extending it with engagement with social movement literature. If you choose to read a couple articles from this special issue, please do not feel obligated to read mine.

FROM SYLLABUS:

On this day we will all read different examples of new research on intersectionality and review them for each other. Here are some examples of possible books to review. You may also find your own example but please check with Dr. Broad.
