Reading List

As part of my prelim exams, I've created a repository for the papers and books I a will read over the course of my PhD - and beyond. Given I will read papers and then need to revist them a year later, I decided to created a resource to mitigate re-reading full papers. Knowing this is likely a difficulty others probably face, I also wanted to make this resource publicly available.

Each entry contains summarizing information about the reading. Entries may also contain notable quotes and thoughts on its relationship to my own research.

You can filter the readings by type or theme by using the buttons below. Readings are in alphabetical order by author last name. (I apologize in advance for the variety of citation styles.)
