GRSIL Abbreviated List of New and Classic Scholarly, Artistic, and Literary Works
This list includes a selection of classic and contemporary texts by authors trying to provide frameworks of understanding for the complexity of our intersectional, cultural landscapes and lifeworlds. Authors may address a specific perspective but ultimately link this partial view to a larger picture of shared cultural contexts. In short, what does it mean to live in a global world with overlapping contexts of race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, nationality, location, language, and diverse ethical belief systems?
