In interdisciplinary fields such as Gender and Social Justice, use the documentation method indicated in your syllabus.
If a specific style is not required, it is best to follow the documentation method preferred in the discipline that most informs the essay that you are writing. For example,
- in a historical essay, use footnoting (Chicago style);
- in a social science essay APA style would be appropriate;
- in a literature essay, you would probably choose MLA.
