PA 542 Readings

As per syllabus: You are also to do one additional reading of your own choosing on each weekly topic, and come prepared to use it to make a discussion contribution in class. You may use sources on the class links page, the online readings page or another source of your own choosing, perhaps using the NCSU Libraries Database Finder for journal literature.
