HNRS 1200: Reading Los Angeles: Expressive Cultures in a Global City

Scholarly articles are typically published in Academic Journals. They offer in-depth research by experts in the field. The audience is less general than news and magazine articles; scholarly journal audiences include students, experts (e.g., Professors, Musicians, Historians), and any other researchers looking for in-depth investigation about a topic such as the influence of Ritchie Valens on rock and roll or Latinx rock.
