2-3 readings will be assigned per module. These will ground the investigation by giving multiple perspectives on the exploration space. You won’t be required to read all of the texts, instead you’ll be asked to review one in depth, report back on its contents, present this in class and pose questions for in-class discussion. While not required, you’ll get a lot of value from these texts and I’d recommend you explore them all!
