I'm making this post to give you a list of sites that might be helpful for you as you begin to look for secondary sources for the next phase of the Analytical Research Paper: the Secondary Source Integration assignment. This list includes blogs, news sites, and research databases that I like to use, so of course it is a limited selection. If you have more suggestions you'd like to add to the list, please feel free to do so in the comment section.
"Is this all research, or just some kind of stress test for the table?" -Buffy Summers
http://jezebel.com (focuses on feminism, sexuality, women's issues, and pop culture)
http://feministing.com (a more "serious" version of Jezebel; Racialicious's sister site)
http://racialicious.com (focuses on race, politics, and pop culture)
http://aldaily.com (compiles academic articles, book reviews, and essays from a variety of sources on all different issues)
http://slate.com (like Jezebel or Racialicious, but without a focus on particular identity issues--though, of course, carries its own unstated biases)
http://salon.com (Like Slate, but with more of an arts focus)
http://npr.org (Short, smart articles and radio segments on basically everything)
http://huffingtonpost.com (Compiles articles and opinion pieces--including some from OSU professors--on anything newsworthy; left-leaning)
http://nytimes.com (It's the New York Times. Online.)
http://economist.com (The Economist is a respected UK magazine focusing on contemporary global politics)
http://newyorker.com (Arts, culture, and politics; includes archive of articles back to the 1920s)
http://chronicle.com (The Chronicle of Higher Education publishes good articles on a variety of topics, focusing on issues that affect academia)
http://thenation.com (The Nation is a left-leaning politics and culture magazine)
http://library.osu.edu (OSU's library site. In addition to looking up books, try using some of the resources available via the "Research Databases" link. In particular, you might be interested in the OED (Oxford English Dictionary, which includes not only definitions but also timelines and etymology); "Academic Search Complete," which searches through all OSU's archives for articles; or "JSTOR," which compiles peer-reviewed analytic articles.
As I said, please feel free to add more to this list!
