PHIL 378: Philosophy and Intersectionality

This guide provides recommended research resources and search strategies for effectively and efficiently locating resources to support coursework in Philosophy 378.

Articles

Articles are important sources for your research as they contain the most-up-to-date research in a given field and often focus on a particular aspect of a topic. There are different types of articles: scholarly, popular or trade. If you are looking for scholarly or peer reviewed articles, you can typically restrict your search results to only peer reviewed journal articles by applying a search limit in the database.

Limiting to Scholarly Peer Reviewed Articles

If you are looking for scholarly or peer reviewed journals, you can typically restrict your search results to return results published in peer-reviewed journals by applying a search limit in the database. There are also limits to restrict your search results further, such as to articles or book reviews.
