Blog Reflection and Summary

Engaging with and contributing to this blog has been a very beneficial experience – as it has introduced me to a wide and varied range of literature.  Not only have I selected, read and critiqued books on my own – I have had the opportunity to benefit from the selections and viewpoints of my peers. Engaging actively with literature in this way while simultaneously working with the course material provided in our workshops/lectures/readings, has helped me to connect my developing theoretical knowledge with tangible resources – and will in the long term, help me to connect theory with practice.

The books I have read and posted about during the course are:
