Readings

This page lists readings (both scholarly and popular) and other textual sources that I have used in my own teaching, education, and research—or would like to eventually read. I have also included links to reading lists curated by other educators and scholars in addition to Open Access (OA) databases.

Texts I have listed are organized broadly by main topic then by author’s last name and include OA links when applicable in addition to any author key words. To search by key word, please use the ‘CTRL+F’ find function (CMD+F for Mac) to highlight the word on the page (the search bar at the top does not highlight).

The reading lists curated by others are not necessarily OA and include radical, independent books sellers (e.g., Haymarket).

*Please bear with me as I build out consolidated lists*

If you are interested in learning more about OA resources, please check out this OER source:
