Bibliographies

The Bibliographies page has been retired.

On this page, you will find links to pages that provide topic descriptions, discussion questions, and Bibliographies for various topics.

1. Topic listings in bold are complete, and you are encouraged to use these when conducting research. Other pages may be lacking some material.
2. For students composing their Review of Scholarship assignment, please review your assignment instructions for a list of approved topics. Not all of the bold topics below are approved for the Review of Scholarship.

Tip: To find sources for a particular topic, check the bibliography of a recently published book or article on the subject. You can build upon other scholars' work and find your own direction by following the threads of their research. Looking up articles from another scholar's bibliography is better than cold searching for sources on a topic you know little about.
