Happy Tuesday!
Coming off an extremely busy weekend, The Academic Wino is still in the writing process of several new peer-reviewed journal articles to present to you all.
In the meantime, while I work hard to complete quality works for you all to read and enjoy, I’d like to present you with a round-up of various articles I’ve posted throughout the past couple of months, that I thought were fascinating and worthy of discussion.
