I am in the process of updating my graduate-level syllabus on civil war and terrorism and the best way to find new readings is to reach out to the academic community. Specifically, if you have read anything in the last few years that should be a standard inclusion for a Master’s course on the topic. If you think I am missing any important works, topics, or people, please also let me know. Of course, there are inevitably errors in the syllabus; if you find a typo, let me know that as well.
A word on course design: I designed the course after the civil war class I took from Patrick Regan at Binghamton in graduate school. Each day has one assigned reading and a menu of optional readings for students. Each student must read three articles for the week and will weave the additional readings into the conversational flow of the course. As such, the list of readings can be lengthy as long as it is manageable for me to be familiar with the works.
