Task Description
The purpose of article review is to get you thinking critically about the secondary literature that you
read. We all are conditioned to think that anything we see in print can be trusted. However, taking a
critical stance Vis a Vis the scholarship (and other printed material) we read can help us to avoid relying
on untrustworthy sources and can help us to nuance our own thought about the ideas we read about.
