Still working on sources.
Looking back at your research question and noting that it was extremely broad (asking “what it means to be human”), I’m concerned by the breadth and generality of these sources. I don’t see articles or chapters on Butler’s novel, but I do see very abstract, theoretical cites that may be relevant, but it’s not clear to me how they might fit. I see that you’re still working: as you search, privilege sources that give readings for Butler’s text.
