This page contains a (very incomplete and ever-growing) list of theorists, writing collectives, essays, articles, and books I have found especially impactful to my own theorizing and praxis. I have sought out and attached links to where pieces can be read without coming up against a paywall. Apologies for the resources listed without easy accessibility or for any links that may be broken when you come to them. I will do my best to keep this list expanding and updated!
