Welcome

The TOPICS section consists of a detailed schedule of the assigned readings. Note that in addition to the textbook readings there is a number of other reading assignments such as journal articles, news articles, etc. You will either find a link to these resources or be able to download them directly from this website. Information on any interactive materials (movies, etc.) will also be posted in its respective section.
