Study Material: increasing its effectiveness - 2018-ongoing

Reading lists (sometimes called study or reference material) are often long, non hierarchical, lists presented to students with no context, and usually as full book titles at the end of project briefs. Anecdotally, or at least through marking submitted papers over the last 8 years, I have seen papers submitted regularly that make no reference to the reading lists. This scholarship aims to test if this really is the case and to look at best practice examples, through action research, of how reading lists could be presented more effectively. In addition, this project looks critically at instances of 'male, pale and stale'.
