Recommended Reading

PaCCS is in the process of gathering recommendations for the development of “essential reading” lists for each of our areas of focus. Included materials must be accessible to non-expert audiences, as the list is intended to be useful to both those inside academia and those working in policy settings. To recommend a website, piece of academic work, blog, or podcast for inclusion on our core reading lists, please email k.mcneil@jbs.cam.ac.uk
