"Mu University" core reading pack

[Fragment]

At university in the humanities I usually got 2-3 assigned readings per week for about 12 week on topics which amounted to a detailed understanding of the subject. My last 6 months could be said to be my own personalized version of that. I did a lot of reading and research- crumbs of which can still be seen as topics on this and other forums. This would be a medium term project, but the idea of it sounds kind cool and I'd really like others' input as to the "curriculum". I'm thinking something like:

• What is minor attraction?
• Ancient history of minor attraction
• Modern history of minor attraction
• Stigma and mental health
• Paraphilias and psychology
• Child sex abuse - perpetrators
• Child sex abuse - victims
• Harms of CSA
• Pro-reform arguments (AMSC)
• Pro-reform arguments (PIM)
• Harm reduction arguments
• Civil rights movements
• Youth rights

Is there any obvious major topics I'm missing? Each topic should probably have "Required reading" (2-3 pieces) and "optional reading/ viewing" (2-5 pieces). Suggestions are most welcome. The goal should be education, not indoctrination so anti-c pieces are obviously necessary. Even actual anti pieces would be acceptable if they're high quality and not hateful.

Hopefully this doesn't end up as another half-done project.
