=== Books ===
* Already planned: [2024-05-24 at 1:00pm PDT; 3:00pm CDT; 4:00pm EDT] [https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674971141 The Ordinal Society by Marion Fourcade and Kieran Healy]. Organized by [[User:groceryheist|Nate]].

* [https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5760/The-Curious-Culture-of-Economic-Theory The Curious Culture of Economic Theory] by Ran Spiegler — This is an economist's reflections on the professional culture of economic theory, should be fun to read about how economics develop their theories, and reflect generally on social sciences. -- from [[User:yibinfan|Yibin]]

* [https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691156989/rules Rules: A short history of what we live by] by Lorraine Daston [[User:Kaylea|Kaylea]] ([[User talk:Kaylea|talk]]) 04:09, 10 May 2024 (CEST) +1 Yibin added on Yibin's reading list one month ago :) +1 [[User:Sohw|sohyeon]] ([[User talk:Sohw|talk]]) 18:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

* [https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262046299/writing-the-revolution/ Writing the Revolution; Wikipedia and the Survival of Facts in the Digital Age] by Heather Ford — Short but I think, increasingly influential on Wikipedia's contests over what counts as a fact.  I think many of us have read it already, but it is on my list for the summer, and I would love to discuss it.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic Folk Devils and Moral Panics] by Stanley Cohen -- moral panic is a useful theory and the book serves as an example of what grounded theory can look like.

* [https://nathanschneider.info/books/governable-spaces/ Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life] by Nathan Schneider.  Nathan is in our broader research community and has, I think, already influenced several of us.  Personally, I wouldn't prioritize this as high as some other suggestions here, but I thought it worth probing for interest in a discussion.

=== Papers ===
As some of our group members suggested, we may want to have some sessions for reading selected great papers together! Here you are welcome to leave recommended papers' references that you think are potentially of interest for our group. Common topics may emerge when there are multiple recommendations so that we can organize a topical reading session!
