Note: This is one of the more academic readings that I’m asking you to do, but the writing is relatively clear. You do not need to understand everything the article is saying but I do want you to muddle through it prior to class, and I will ask quiz questions about it at the start of class. Then we will talk about strategies for how to read this kind of academic article.
