I have an ongoing spreadsheet of many more resources (in French, Portuguese, and Spanish too!) here! The spreadsheet view can be adjusted to sort by language, research topic, type of source, date added, etc. Feel free to use this for your research as much as you need! I plan on adding much more as I find more sources! :D

Unfortunately, I am an American (tragic, I know). As a current undergraduate student in a state university, I'm well aware that I am going to spend my life in debt. There are plenty of other Americans that cannot afford to go to college and pursue their dreams. Many books and articles are behind paywalls, which halts students without proper funding from pursuing research and the continuation of education. This is because many universities are run as if they were businesses. For example, my current university receives 2-3% of its funding from the state despite being considering a "state university". Professors and students alike are not receiving funding and salaries that are necessary. All of this money is going into the pockets of the higher-ups, and education (especially in the humanities sector!) is going dangerously underfunded and neglected.

So, what can we do about this? Above all, we can bypass publishers. In many cases, the academics and authors do NOT receive money from the publishers. In fact, in many cases they have to pay in order to have their papers published. This in turn bars lower-income students and researchers from having necessary academic sources, and if you're lucky enough to be able to afford said papers, it keeps the educated in a lower-income status. Meanwhile, the publishers are making money off of this hard work, NOT the researchers.

I want you to research despite economic status. I want you to learn despite everything else. Especially if the American government follows through with its fascist Project 2025 agenda and defunds and/or dissolves the Department of Education.
