The texts mentioned in this section do not constitute a definitive list and should act as a guide to further research. It is an attempt to list key texts in each area which will provide both a historical perspective and a clear overview of recent debates: some of the most current thinking is found in journals and on websites and these will be recommended to Bath Spa Teachers at relevant points on the course.
