academic referencing for humanities essays
9 Answers
I am currently hiking my way through my first ever humanities essay, its a philosophy essay on bad faith.
i study politics and am used to using Chicago Manual Style to reference every single point i make, i am used to this structure.
however how does referencing work for humanities, with this being a 'wild' module i've not been taught how to do so. Should i be referencing every possible point, with footnotes and bibliography? should i be having a lot of reference points, as i'm finding a lot of what im writing is my own ideas and not able to be referenced?
any help or point in the right direction would be lovely! i have until next thursday. thank you in advance!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I would assume that the essay should be approached and referenced in the same way as your Politics essays.
Have you been asked to write a reflective piece? If not, then your own ideas should not be incorporated into the essay (or if they are, they should be backed up with some evidence and appropriately referenced).
I've always used Harvard, so am not familiar with Chicago Manual. However, if you are able to use the same referencing method for this essay then it would probably make life easier for you.
It's definitely worth checking with your tutor exactly what is expected of you; it'd be a shame to have to re-do it! Good luck.
