Here is the reading list for the trip. Zoe and I compiled it to include Jill's De Certeau reading. There are copies of everything on reserve, but the links here will save you some $$ for the PDFs. Also you'll want to check out the links to the sites we'll be talking about in class. Hard copy tomorrow.
