2023 Video Bibliography

Hi and welcome to the ‘bibliography’ section for all my 2023 videos! This is where you can find the texts, videos, articles etc. I referred to when making some of my more ‘academic’ videos (ones in which I’m discussing a larger or heavier topic).
I update this periodically so the oldest videos are at the bottom and the newest videos are at the top.
I hope you find this interesting. Enjoy!
