Here are some of the key people and a little bit more information about their main ideas. There are some theorists whose work is applicable to more than one theme so it is not possible to group all of them.
Once you have read through their ideas look at some of the questions underneath each document that are designed to help you to begin to apply some of these new ideas to your theme.
Answer all of the relevant questions in a new blog post on your group blogs.
