Weekly Works Cited

Since we at Fashionable Academics always enjoy reading the round ups of links that some of our favorite bloggers regularly provide, we decided to unveil a new weekly feature: a round up of posts known as Weekly Works Cited.  Some of the weeks will be thematic, some will be a mish-mash, but they will always include links to posts and articles that have interested and intrigued us over the past week.
