Below is the list of topics that we will cover through the course of
the semester.
You will be responsible for the readings that are
listed with each topic. Starred items (***) will not be discussed in
class (and are not required reading), but are included as
additional information (and could
become the basis for a project).
The set of papers will likely change (to a small degree) as we
progress through the semester (right now, there are far too
many papers on the list). However, I will try to freeze
papers and discussion leader assignments two weeks before we
discuss the papers in class.
Access to the reading materials is currently restricted to
computers within the ou.edu domain. If you will be accessing
papers from the outside, please email to me the domain from
which you will be coming.
If you find a paper that is of particular interest to you (in
particular, if you would like to present it),
please let me know via email.
