To cover T-duality and Bosonization in 2d I will mostly follow the book by Di Francesco, Mathieu and Senechal: Conformal Field Theory.Next we will cover dualitues in SUSY field theories in 3+1 and 2+1 dimensions, with N=4,2,1 as well as mirror symmetry in d=3 with N=4

Last but not least we’ll get into non-SUSY dualities in 2+1. No good review exists but useful references are
