Throughout the course students will build an annotated bibliography of books, articles, films, and web media dealing with the topic of sacred space. As part of this each student will produce a short (c. 2000-2500 word) book review article. The article should be theme oriented and include a number of works (not necessarily only monographs) and assess this literature (or other media) through the lens of the class discussions. The idea is that this may serve as part of the literature review that many of you will need as you develop your final papers/projects. But it will also serve as a way for your colleagues to access more scholarship than could be done individually.
An example of what I am looking for falls along the lines of this review essay by Shannon Dawdy entitled Thinker-tinkers, race and the archaeological critique of modernity
Make sure that all these books and articles also go up on the webibiliography!
