Scholarly conversations happen in existing publications, conferences, online discussions surrounding a particular topic. Most often when we talk about scholarly conversation, it refers to published material such as books, essay collections, or journal articles.
Oftentimes, there is already a scholarly conversation going on about a topic you are interested in researching. That conversation may go far in-depth on a particular theme associated with your topic.
Your job in this assignment is to observe a portion of that conversation by find out what one scholar (or group of scholars) are saying.
