• READ: • everyone read Lurie, "How to Read a Book in Two hours or Less," online here: https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/gradhacker/how-read-book-two-hours-or-less (If you were going to cite this article, how would you do so? Bring your citation in: forms for in text, footnote, bibliography. http://www.citationmachine.net/mla/cite-a-website ) • Then, try this practice with Dixon and see what you can do with it, what you notice about the practice, how it makes you FEEL! and anything else you notice about it while you do it ("paying attention to what happens as it happens"). Take notes on how it feels as well as anything else you want notes about.

Another extremely simple (overly so in many ways) historical visualization is the Google ngram. Big data and distance reading work in simple action: Here is one to see frequencies of terms double consciousness, double bind, intersectionality from 1800-2000 in English books: https://books.google.com/ngrams/
