Reading resources for visual notes


The purpose of this post is to provide you with additional means and resources for finding ideas to make visual notes of.

After you have run out of ideas from your chapter to visualize, you have several options for finding more ideas…

1. Look in the index of the blue book for your subject matter.
– For white supremacy, look for terms like racism, white supremacy, race, etc.
– For capitalism, look for terms like class, wealth, working-class, etc.
– For patriarchy, look for terms like sexism, hetero-sexism, gender, sexuality, sex, etc.

2. Look in the blue book for terms that you could possibly relate to your subject matter.
– That is, find terms that are not directly related to your subject matter by the authors but that you are able to relate to your subject matter. E.g., you might think about how the term “reference group” is related to white supremacy: what is the reference group of a white supremacist/racist person?

3. Look in the green book for readings on your subject matter.
– For white supremacy, you might consider the readings “A Different Mirror”, “Of Our Spiritual Strivings”, or “Black Students at Predominately White Colleges and Universities”.
– For capitalism, you might consider the readings “… And the Poor Get Prison”, “Nickel-and-Diamond: on (Not) Getting by in America”, “Positive Functions of the Undeserving Poor: Uses of the Underclass in America”, “Power and Class in the United States”, “Class Conflict: Tuition Hikes Leave College Students in Debt and Torn between Paid Work and Coursework”, etc.
– For patriarchy, “Fraternities and Collegiate Rape Culture: Why Are Some Fraternities More Dangerous Places for Women?”, “He Defies You Still: the Memoirs of the Sissy”, “Women in the Global Factory”, etc.
