For Thursday, 7/25

After class, Nixon mentioned that there are page numbers on the PDF version of the textbook, so that solves our pagination problem! Just download the PDF version in order to see the page numbers of the passages you want to cite. Meanwhile, to recap, here’s what I think the citation for the textbook should look like in your reference list, based on the information to be gleaned from the first few pages of the PDF:

Sociology: Understanding and Changing the Social World. 2016. University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing.

And here’s the suggested citation for the documentary we watched today:

13th. 2017. Directed by Ava DuVernay.
