LSFRC’s second Work in Progress event, which took place online via Zoom, was a resounding success, with nearly thirty participants engaging over the course of the day. In light of the sheer volume of interesting ideas and references being discussed aloud and in the text chat, I decided to compile a bibliography for the event. The list of references is primarily drawn from the text chat and is sorted alphabetically by category. It is our hope that this will prove a useful resource for participants who weren’t able to note everything down, as well as a way for those who could not access the event to share in the discussions that were had. In some cases, there is no specific text reference, so I have listed the name of the writer/thinker in question. In cases where the text is available online, I have included it as a hyperlink.

We would also like to highlight that one of the WiP participants, Iain Emsley, shared an interactive link to some of his research, encouraging people to engage with it: Discourse Networks in Dracula Sonification.
