Guideposts for Reading Academic Theory
I noticed that my first-year graduate students were struggling with reading theory. As someone who has faced that struggle, I drafted this handout to help them work through complicated text. It's built for reading theory about Theatre and Performance Studies primarily, but could work for broad swathes of humanist study with minimal editing. If you do use it (and particularly if you give it out to students), please e-mail me to let me know so I can record that usage for my tenure file.
