Hello all,<br>
<br>
Adam Hodges has also recently come out with a few articles that examine<br>
implicit assumptions built in/across news discourse around the Trayvon<br>
Martin incident that students may find accessible if they are doing<br>
discourse analysis. Many references there-in as well.<br>

Elise, and everyone--<br>
<br>
In addition to the excellent resources that everyone recommended--I'd like<br>
to throw in a<br>
(shameless self-) plug for a couple of pieces that I've written. I have a<br>
longer journal article and book chapter (and a dissertation) on the<br>
way--but these are available now.<br>
<br>
I wrote a reflection on the die-in at the AAA meeting in DC--which I think<br>
could speak to some ling anth themes--part of the piece is hashing out of<br>
how embodied protest action can give voice to emotions where words don't<br>
seem to be quite forthcoming or sufficient. You can find a version of it<br>
on the Anthropology Now site:<br>
<a href="http://anthronow.com/online-articles/recalled-to-life-on-the-meaning-and-power-of-a-die-in" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://anthronow.com/online-<wbr>articles/recalled-to-life-on-<wbr>the-meaning-and-power-of-a-<wbr>die-in</a><br>
<br>
I wrote another piece that might be useful, also at Anthropology Now--maybe<br>
less directly concerned with ling anth themes but still useful perhaps:<br>
<a href="http://www.anthropology-news.org/index.php/2016/03/25/finding-black-death-on-a-quiet-hilltop/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.anthropology-news.<wbr>org/index.php/2016/03/25/<wbr>finding-black-death-on-a-<wbr>quiet-hilltop/</a><br>
<br>
Conceptually there are a ton of possibilities--I'm not sure what your<br>
syllabus looks like, from the semiotics of protest to media discourse<br>
around victims and the state, to how race is imagined and enacted through<br>
language, and so on.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Donna<br>
